ENTafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah's statement,
كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَاهُمْ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٢٥﴾
Those before them denied, and so the torment came on them from directions they perceived not.
means, the previous generations who denied the Messengers were destroyed by Allah for their sins. And none had they to protect them from Allah.
