Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Plot of the Mischief-Makers and the End of the People of ThamudAllah tells us about the evildoers of Thamud and their leaders who used to call their people to misguidance and disbelief, and to deny Salih. Eventually they killed the she-camel and were about to kill Salih too.
