Allah tells us that He made a declaration to the Children of Israel in the
Scripture, meaning that He had already told them in the Book which He revealed
to them, that they would cause mischief on the earth twice, and would become
tyrants and extremely arrogant, meaning they would become shameless oppressors
of people, Allah says:
[وَقَضَيْنَآ
إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الاٌّمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـؤُلآْءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ
]
(And We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was
to be cut off in the early morning.)(15:66), meaning, We already told him about
that and informed him of it.
