قوله عز وجل: "كذبت ثمود بطغواها"، بطغيانها وعدوانها، أي الطغيان حملهم على التكذيب.
After Allah mentions the loss of the one who thrust his soul secretly into sins, He mentions the Thamūd as an example of that, saying: The Thamūd rejected their Prophet Saleh due to their transgressing the limits in committing sins and disobedience.
