* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ 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 ‘Ād they acted arrogantly in the earth without right and they said upon their being threatened with the chastisement ‘Who is more powerful than us in might?’ in other words they believed no one to be so — a single man among them could pull out a huge rock from a mountainside and have the strength to place it wherever he wished. Did they not see did they not realise that God He Who created them was more powerful than them in might? And they used to deny Our signs the miracles We sent down.
