Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an vol.

“Before them, the people of Noah, and ‘Ad, and Pharaoh, the lord of stakes, belied (messengers),” 13. “And Thamud and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Thicket, these were the parties (who also rejected the messengers).” 14. “There was none of them but belied the messengers, so just was My retribution.” 15. “And these (infidels) do not wait aught but a single blast, which (when it comes) will brook no delay.” 16. “And they (ridiculously) say: ‘O our Lord!

Hasten on to us our portion before the Day of Reckoning.” These verses refer to the evil end of the peoples of six prophets who lived before Islam, so that both the pagans of the time of the Prophet of Islam (S) may take a lesson, and the Prophet (S) and the believers know that rejecting prophets has an old background and it is not a new thing and they should also know that if there comes a punishment there will not be given any respite to the disbelievers.

Following the last verse which was explained and informed of the defeat of the polytheists in future, and introduced them as a small army out of the ‘defeated parties’, now, it introduces a group of the parties who belied the prophets and afflicted a bad fate.

It says: “Before them, the people of Noah, and ‘Ad, and Pharaoh, the lord of stakes, belied (messengers),” And in the next verse it says: “And Thamud and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Thicket, these were the parties (who also rejected the messengers).” Yes, these were six groups out of parties of Ignorant and idolaters who opposed against the prophets: The people of Noah against this great prophet. The people of ‘Ad against Hud, the prophet. Pharaoh against Moses and Aaron (as).

The people of Thamud against Hadrat Salih. The people of Lot against Hadrat Lot. The dwellers of the Thicket against Shu‘ayb, the prophet. They did their best in belying, hurting and vexation of both Divine prophets and believers.
