Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
يَقَوْمِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ رِسَـلَـتِ رَبِّى وَنَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ
("O my people! I have indeed conveyed my Lord's Messages unto you and I have given you good advice.") Shu`ayb said, I have conveyed to you what I was sent with, so I will not feel any sorrow for you since you disbelieved in what I brought you,
فَكَيْفَ ءَاسَى عَلَى قَوْمٍ كَـفِرِينَ
("Then how can I grieve over pepple who are disbelievers")
