* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُواْ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَقَالُواْ مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَكَانُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ }

(As for 'Aad) the folk of Hud, (they were arrogant) they were too proud to accept faith (in the land without right) to do so, (and they said) to Hud: (Who is mightier than us in power) who is stronger than us in power and strength such that he might destroy us? (Could they not see) did they not know (that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power) and could easily destroy them? (And they denied Our revelations) and they disbelieved in Our Scripture and Messenger Hud.
