﴿ وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُوا۟ مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ ﴾

“And, indeed, [even] before thy time have apostles been derided - but those who scoffed at them were [in the end] overwhelmed by the very thing which they were wont to deride.”

And messengers were indeed mocked before you — this is meant as a consolation for the Prophet s — but those who scoffed at them were encompassed by that which they mocked namely by the punishment sent down on them those who mock you will be encompassed likewise.
