قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ
My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Justice of Allah and the Frivolity of the Idolators
Allah tells us of His justice towards His servants in this world, in that He does not task any person except according to his capacity, i.e., He does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. On the Day of Resurrection He will call them to account for their deeds, which He has recorded in a written Book from which nothing is omitted. He says:
وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ
(and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth,) meaning, the Book of deeds
وَهُمْ لاَ يُظْلَمُونَ
(and they will not be wronged.) means, nothing will be omitted from their record of good deeds. As for evil deeds, He will forgive and overlook many of them in the case of His believing servants. Then Allah says, denouncing the disbelievers and idolators of the Quraysh:
