8644: By the punishment (bi-al-'adhab): 2: Al-Qurtubi said: Between Hud and Noah, according to what the exegetes mentioned, there were seven generations. 'Ad consisted of, as reported, thirteen tribes, residing in the sands—the sands of 'Alij. They were people of orchards, crops, and construction, and their lands were the most fertile of lands. Allah was angry with them, so He turned them into wildernesses. They were, as reported, in the regions of Hadhramaut to Yemen, and they used to worship idols. When his people were destroyed, Hud joined those who believed with him in Makkah, and they remained there until they died.
