Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*14) What they meant was: "You are an evil omen for us. Our gods have become angry with us on account of what you have been saying against them. Now whatever calamity is befalling us is only because of you." Precisely the same thing used to be said by the disbelievers and the hypocrites of Arabia concerning the Holy Prophet: 'If they suffer a loss, they say: this is because of you." (AnNisa': 77). That is why at several places in the Qur'an these people have been told that in the ancient times also people used to say such things of ignorance in regard to their Prophets. The people of Thamud said to their Prophet: "We regard you and your companions as a sign of bad omen." (An-Naml: 47). And the same was the attitude of the people of Pharaoh: "Whenever a good time came, they would say: This is but our due, and when there was a hard time, they would ascribe their calamities to Moses and his companions. " (Al-A'raf: 130).
