وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَقَد تَّبَيَّنَ لَكُم مِّن مَّسَٰكِنِهِمۡۖ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَكَانُواْ مُسۡتَبۡصِرِينَ ٣٨
And [We destroyed] ʿAad and Thamūd, and it has become clear to you from their [ruined] dwellings. And Satan had made pleasing to them their deeds and averted them from the path, and they were endowed with perception.

Commentary on 29:38–39
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وعادًا وثَمُودَ وقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكم مِن مَساكِنِهِمْ وزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أعْمالَهم فَصَدَّهم عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وكانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ﴾ ﴿وقارُونَ وفِرْعَوْنَ وهامانَ ولَقَدْ جاءَهم مُوسى بِالبَيِّناتِ فاسْتَكْبَرُوا في الأرْضِ وما كانُوا سابِقِينَ﴾
* * *
ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿وعادًا وثَمُودَ﴾ أيْ وأهْلَكْنا عادًا وثَمُودَ لِأنَّ قَوْلَهُ تَعالى: ﴿فَأخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ﴾ دَلَّ عَلى الإهْلاكِ ﴿وقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكم مِن مَساكِنِهِمْ﴾ الأمْرُ وما تَعْتَبِرُونَ مِنهُ، ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ سَبَبَ ما جَرى عَلَيْهِمْ فَقالَ: ﴿وزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أعْمالَهم فَصَدَّهم عَنِ السَّبِيلِ﴾ فَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿وزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أعْمالَهُمْ﴾ يَعْنِي: عِبادَتَهم لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ﴿فَصَدَّهم عَنِ السَّبِيلِ﴾ يَعْنِي: عِبادَةَ اللَّهِ ﴿وكانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ﴾ يَعْنِي بِواسِطَةِ الرُّسُلِ يَعْنِي فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهم في ذَلِكَ عُذْرٌ، فَإنَّ الرُّسُلَ أوْضَحُوا السُّبُلَ. ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿وقارُونَ وفِرْعَوْنَ وهامانَ﴾ عَطْفًا عَلَيْهِمْ أيْ: وأهْلَكْنا قارُونَ وفِرْعَوْنَ وهامانَ.
* * *
ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿ولَقَدْ جاءَهم مُوسى بِالبَيِّناتِ﴾ كَما قالَ في عادٍ وثَمُودَ: ﴿وكانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ﴾ أيْ: بِالرُّسُلِ، ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿فاسْتَكْبَرُوا﴾ أيْ: عَنْ عِبادَةِ اللَّهِ. وقَوْلُهُ: ﴿فِي الأرْضِ﴾ إشارَةٌ إلى ما يُوَضِّحُ قِلَّةَ عَقْلِهِمْ في اسْتِكْبارِهِمْ، وذَلِكَ لِأنَّ مَن في الأرْضِ أضْعَفُ أقْسامِ المُكَلَّفِينَ، ومَن في السَّماءِ أقْواهم، ثُمَّ إنَّ مَن في السَّماءِ لا يَسْتَكْبِرُ عَلى اللَّهِ وعَنْ عِبادَتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ [ يَسْتَكْبِرُ ] مَن في الأرْضِ. ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿وما كانُوا سابِقِينَ﴾ أيْ: ما كانُوا يَفُوتُونَ اللَّهَ لِأنّا بَيَّنّا في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿وما أنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ في الأرْضِ﴾ (العَنْكَبُوتِ: ٢٢ ) أنَّ المُرادَ أنَّ أقْطارَ الأرْضِ في قَبْضَةِ قُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ.

29:31
وَلَمَّا جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُهۡلِكُوٓاْ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِۖ إِنَّ أَهۡلَهَا كَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ ٣١
And when Our messengers [i.e., angels] came to Abraham with the good tidings,1 they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that [i.e., Lot's] city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers."

قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطٗاۚ قَالُواْ نَحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَاۖ لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُۥ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَهُۥ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ ٣٢
[Abraham] said, "Indeed, within it is Lot." They said, "We are more knowing of who is within it. We will surely save him and his family, except his wife. She is to be of those who remain behind."
29:33
وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَا لُوطٗا سِيٓءَ بِهِمۡ وَضَاقَ بِهِمۡ ذَرۡعٗاۖ وَقَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمۡرَأَتَكَ كَانَتۡ مِنَ ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ ٣٣
And when Our messengers [i.e., angels] came to Lot, he was distressed for them and felt for them great discomfort.1 They said, "Fear not, nor grieve. Indeed, we will save you and your family, except your wife; she is to be of those who remain behind.

إِنَّا مُنزِلُونَ عَلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ رِجۡزٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ ٣٤
Indeed, we will bring down on the people of this city punishment from the sky because they have been defiantly disobedient."
29:35
وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَا مِنۡهَآ ءَايَةَۢ بَيِّنَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ ٣٥
And We have certainly left of it a sign as clear evidence for a people who use reason.

وَإِلَىٰ مَدۡيَنَ أَخَاهُمۡ شُعَيۡبٗا فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱرۡجُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَ وَلَا تَعۡثَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُفۡسِدِينَ ٣٦
And to Madyan [We sent] their brother Shuʿayb, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh and expect the Last Day and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
