وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ ۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَكَانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ
WaAAadan wathamooda waqad tabayyana lakum min masakinihim wazayyana lahumu alshshaytanu aAAmalahum fasaddahum AAani alssabeeli wakanoo mustabsireena (38)
( وعادا وثمود ) أي : وأهلكنا عادا وثمودا ، ( وقد تبين لكم ) يا أهل مكة ، ( من مساكنهم ) منازلهم بالحجر واليمن ، ( وزين لهم الشيطان أعمالهم فصدهم عن السبيل ) عن سبيل الحق ( وكانوا مستبصرين ) قال مقاتل ، والكلبي ، وقتادة : كانوا معجبين في دينهم وضلالتهم ، يحسبون أنهم على هدى ، وهم على الباطل ، والمعنى : أنهم كانوا عند أنفسهم مستبصرين . قال الفراء : كانوا عقلاء ذوي بصائر .
I also destroyed the tribe of 'Ad, the people of Hud, and the Thamud, the people of Salih. Signs of their destruction are clear to you - O people of Makkah - by what is left of their dwelling by Hijr (towards the Levant) and Shihr (near Hadramut). Their empty dwellings are evidence of that. Satan made their deeds of disbelief and other sins seem good to them and diverted them from the right path. They were capable of seeing truth from deviation and guidance from misguidance as their Messengers had taught them, but they chose to follow their desires instead of following guidance.
