And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but those who mocked them were enveloped by that which they used to ridicule.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
If these people poke fun at you by asking for an angel to be sent down with you, then communities in the past also poked fun at their messengers. Then the punishment, which they used to deny and mock when they were warned about it, surrounded them.
