7:74; 11:62, 63; 27:46.
This and the following several verses deal with the tribe of Thamud. According to Futuhush-Sham, they were a very powerful people. Their rule and dominion had extended from Busra, a town in Syria, to Aden. They had made great progress in agriculture and architecture and were a highly civilised and cultured people. The tribe has been mentioned by Greek historians. They place it in a period not long before the Christian era. Hijr or Agra, as they call it, is given as their home. Al-Hijr which has also been known as Mada’ini Salih (the Cities of Salih) and which seems to have been the capital of these people lies between Medina and Tabuk, and the valley in which it is situated is called Wadi Qura. The Qur’an represents them as the immediate successors of ‘Ad (7:75). It is worthy of note that the accounts of the Prophets Noah, Hud and Salih have been given at various places in the Qur’an and everywhere the order observed is the same, viz. the account of Noah precedes that of Hud and the account of Hud

Commentary:
This and the following several verses deal with the tribe of Thamud. According to Abu Isma‘il, the author of Futuhush-Sham, they were a very powerful people. Their rule and dominion had extended from Busra, a town in Syria to Aden. They had made great progress in agriculture and architecture. They were a highly civilized and cultured people. The tribe has been mentioned by Greek historians. They place it in a period not long before the Christian era. Hijr or Agra, as they call it, is given as the home of these people. Al-Hijr which has also been known as Mada’ini Salih (the Cities of Salih) and which seems to have been the capital of these people lies between Medina and Tabuk, and the valley in which it is situated is called Wadi Qura. The Quran represents them as the immediate successors of ‘Ad (7:75). From 40:31-32, it appears that they lived before the time of Moses. It is worthy of note that the accounts of the Prophets Noah, Hud and Salih have been given at various places in the Quran and everywhere the order observed is the same, viz. the account of Noah precedes that of Hud and the account of Hud precedes that of Salih, which is the true chronological order. This shows that the Quran gives accurately and in their true historical order the facts of history long consigned to oblivion and quite wrapped in obscurity. For a fuller note on Thamud see 11:62.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
69:5.
اس جگہ صرف صالح ؑ کا ذکر ہے مگر ان کے انکار کو نبیوں کا انکار کہا گیا ہے۔ کیونکہ بوجہ اس کے کہ سب نبیوں کی صداقت کے دلائل ایک سے ہوتے ہیں۔ ایک کا انکار سب نبیوں کا انکار سمجھا جاتا ہے۔
69:5.
As all Prophets are commissioned by God and their revelation proceeds from the same Divine Source and it also contains analogous eternal basic truths, the rejection of one Prophet amounts to the rejection of all of them. That is why the verse describes the ‘Ad and the Thamud, the people of Noah and those of Lot as having rejected all Divine Messengers while, in fact, they had rejected only their own particular Prophets.

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ
Important Words:
القارعة (the sudden calamity) is derived from قرع. They say قرع رأسه بالعصا i.e. he struck his head with a stick. قرع الباب means, he knocked at the door. القارعة means, a great calamity which strikes terror into the hearts of people (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Whereas, in the preceding three verses, the inevitability of the doom in store for the opponents of the Holy Prophet was emphasized, in the verse under comment the case of the ‘Ad and the Thamud tribes is cited to warn them that they should learn a lesson from the evil fate of these peoples, who in the remote past, flourished in their neighbourhood.

41:18; 54:32.
Commentary:
طاغیة having been derived from طغی which means, he exceeded the limits, signifies an extremely severe punishment. For the nature of the calamity which befell the tribe of Thamud see 7:79; 41:18 & 54:32. It has been variously described in the Quran as الصیحة (the violent cry): الرجفة (the earthquake): and الصاعقه (the thunderbolt). In fact it was a severe earthquake.
