يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ١١١

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍۢ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ ١١٢

In the original Arabic text, it is called "the garment of hunger and fear" because feebleness, paleness, and misery were clearly showing on them like a garment. Al-Qurtubi: 12/452.
Question: Allah calls the hunger and fear by which destroyed nations were punished a garment. Why?
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍۢ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ ١١٢
Allah made them an example and an admonishment to those who would show the same ingratitude for His favors. Ibn Ashur: 14/303.

This verse addresses the Arabs who were -during the times of ignorance- used to make some things lawful and other things unlawful, such as Al-Bahira [a she-camel whose milk was spared for the sake of the idols] and others that are mentioned in Surahs, Al-Ma'idah and Al-An'am. Moreover, this verse includes anyone who says, (This is lawful) and (This is unlawful) without proper knowledge. Ibn Juzay: 1/476.
