Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Destruction of the Dwellers of Al-Hijr, Who are the People called ThamudThe Dwellers of the Al Hijr were the people of Thamud who rejected their Prophet, Salih. Whoever denies even one Messenger, then he has disbelieved in all of the Messengers, thus they are described as rejecting "the Messengers".
