Those are accounts of some exemplary events of the unseen (a time and realm beyond any created’s perception) that We reveal to you, (O Messenger). Neither you nor your people knew them before this. Then (seeing that there is no substantial difference between the conditions in which the Messengers carried out their missions and the reactions they encountered) be patient (with their reactions and their persistence in unbelief). The (final, happy) outcome is in favor of the God-revering, pious.

Commentary 11:49 The account concerning the “news of the hidden or unseen realities” (أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ) is not a reference to the history of the various Prophets, but…
تِلْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهَا إِلَيْكَ ۖ مَا كُنتَ تَعْلَمُهَا أَنتَ وَلَا قَوْمُكَ مِن قَبْلِ هَـٰذَا ۖ فَاصْبِرْ ۖ إِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
11:49 The account concerning the “news of the hidden or unseen realities” (أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ) is not a reference to the history of the various Prophets, but to the history of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the fate of his opponents in comparison with the history of these other Prophets. The words that follow, “be patient” (فَاصْبِر), are an indication of this.
