Al-Hijr
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[15:80]
AND, [likewise,] indeed, the people of Al-Hijr gave the lie to [Our] message-bearers:


* v.80 : I.e., the tribe of Thamūd (see sūrah 7, note 56), who in pre-Islamic times inhabited the region of Al-Hijr in northernmost Hijāz, south of the oasis of Taymah. The story of the Thamūd is found in 7:73-79.
