21:42
وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And Messengers have indeed been mocked at before thee, but that whereat they mocked encompassed those of them who scoffed.

[b]And Messengers have indeed been mocked at before thee, but that [c]whereat they mocked encompassed those of them who scoffed.[2382]
6:11; 13:33.
11:9; 46:27.
Commentary:
The verse makes mention of two things which never fail to occur when a Prophet preaches his message: (a) the message is held up to scorn and the Prophet himself is mocked and jeered at; and (b) the jeering and mocking of the scoffers always recoils on their own heads and they themselves become the laughing-stock of the world.
