﴿ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ ﴾

“For, behold, in times gone by they were wont to abandon themselves wholly to the pursuit of pleasures,”

(Lo! Heretofore) in the life of the world (they were effete with luxury) they were prodigal; it is also said that this means: they were immersed in comfort; and it is also said that this means: they were bewildered.
