The Holy Quran 21:41 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

Translation

(O Rasulullaah ﷺ!) Undoubtedly, the Rusul before you were also ridiculed (mocked), but those who ridiculed (jeered) them were engulfed by (the consequences of) their own ridicule (they were destroyed by Allaah's punishment). (The same will be the plight of those who ridicule you).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Mockery of the earlier prophets and its outcome: that is, the punishment for what they used to ridicule encompassed them, and their mockery was turned back upon themselves.
