Fasabba AAalayhim rabbuka sawta AAathabinTafsir of Verse 13
Thy Lord unloosed on them a scourge of chastisement;
Therefore did thy Lord pour on them a scourge of diverse chastisements:
فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ (So, your Lord unloosed on them the whip of torment....89:13).

It signifies that just as lashes are inflicted across different parts of the body, the torment these nations received was similar to it in that they suffered different kinds of punishment.
