    78. From these verses is either meant the stories of the previous nations, or the miracles of the Prophets, or simple punishments placed on them i.e. We first made these people listen to the stories of the previous nations, made them see miracles of the Prophets and sent upon them worldly difficulties so that they could accept faith.
