Translation

And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

These rejecters from your people in their travel to the Levant have come by the town of people of Lot on which stones had rained down as a punishment for their immoral behaviour so that they make take heed. Were they blind to this town and did they not see it? No! Instead they do not expect to be raised from the dead and taken to account thereafter.
