Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
And the people of Noah read wa qawmi Nūhin as a supplement to Thamūda in other words ‘in the destruction of these two peoples by what destructive power exists in the heavens and the earth there is also a sign’; or read wa qawma Nūhin in other words ‘We also destroyed the people of Noah’ aforetime that is before the destruction of those mentioned. Indeed they were an immoral lot.
