Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(39:50) Their predecessors also said the same, but their earnings proved of no avail to them, *68
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*68) That is, "When they were seized for evil-doing, the ability of which they were so proud, did not avail them anything, and this also became known that they were not Allah's favourites. Evidently, if their earning had been due to their capability and their being favourites with Allah, they would not have been seized for evil-doing at all."
