1289: 7281: Their hearts: 1: Al-Qurtubi said: "'Lawla' (Why did they not...) is a particularization, and it is the one followed by a verb in the sense of 'halla' (an urging/reproach), and this is a reproach for abandoning supplication, and an information about them that they did not humble themselves when the punishment descended. It is also permissible that they humbled themselves with the humility of one who is not sincere, or that they humbled themselves when the punishment was enveloping them. Humility in these states is of no benefit. Supplication is commanded in times of both ease and hardship; Allah, the Exalted, said: 'Call upon Me; I will answer you.'
