Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Conversation between Salih and the People of ThamudAllah, the Exalted, mentions what transpired in the discussion between Salih and his people. Allah informs of their ignorance and obstinacy in their statement, قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَـذَا(You have been among us as a figure of good hope till this!) They were saying in this, "We had hope in your strong intellect before you began saying what you have said.
