And the people of Noah read wa qawmi Nūhin as a supplement to Thamūda in other words ‘in the destruction of these two peoples by what destructive power exists in the heavens and the earth there is also a sign’; or read wa qawma Nūhin in other words ‘We also destroyed the people of Noah’ aforetime that is before the destruction of those mentioned. Indeed they were an immoral lot.
- 51:4646
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ
(So had We destroyed) the people of Noah before them: They were surely a sinful people.
