251. By torment here means a severe famine was sent upon the people of Makkah, and the fear of the believers subdued them. 

252. These infidels of Makkah did not adopt a just opinion regarding the Holy Prophet Instead of referring to him as a Prophet or a Messenger they called him a poet and a magician.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah An-Nahl verse 113 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nahl ayat 112 which provides the complete commentary from verse 112 through 113.

(16:113) Most certainly a Messenger came to them from among them; but they rejected him, calling him a liar. Therefore chastisement seized them while they engaged in wrong-doing.[112]

Ala-Maududi

(16:113) Most certainly a Messenger came to them from among them; but they rejected him, calling him a liar. Therefore chastisement seized them while they engaged in wrong-doing.[112]


112. That habitation has not been specified here nor have the commentators definitely pointed out which that habitation was. However, there is a saying of Ibn Abbas (which seems to be correct) that the place referred to is Makkah itself. In that case, hunger and fear will mean the famine which prevailed over the people of Makkah for several years during the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

(113) And there had certainly come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.
