  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

23. This means the people of Hazrat Shuaib (On whom be peace) because their settlement was situated between jojoba trees. For this reason, they have been called men of wood. A discussion on them had taken place in Surah Hajj.

24. Tubba Humairi, king of Yemen, whose detailed discussion had taken place in Surah Dukkhaan.

25. This means all these people had been destroyed because they had belied their Prophets. No punishment comes before the people believe the Prophet, no matter what crimes the people may commit. Observe, the Pharaoh had claimed to be god and he had been responsible for the slaughter of 80 000 Israelite babies, yet Divine punishment did not come! However, after he rejected the Prophethood of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace), he was given Divine punishment.
