45 Preface إِنَّهُم كانوا قَبلَ ذٰلِكَ مُترَفينَYusuf AliFor that they were wont to be indulged, before that, in wealth (and luxury),1Cf. 34:34, and 43:23. We must read verses 45-46 together. They had wealth and the good things of life, but they used them in self-indulgence and shameless crime, and now they are in humiliation.
