Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Story of `Ad or ThamudAllah tells us that after the people of Nuh, He created another nation. It was said that this was `Ad, because they were the successors of the people of Nuh. Or it was said that they were Thamud, because Allah says:فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ(So, the Sayhah overtook them in truth.
