Sura 50
Aya 14
14
وَأَصحابُ الأَيكَةِ وَقَومُ تُبَّعٍ ۚ كُلٌّ كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ وَعيدِ

Muhammad Asad

and the dwellers of the wooded dales [of Madyan], and the people of Tubba':1 they all gave the lie to the apostles - and thereupon that whereof I had warned [them] came true.
  • Regarding "the people of Tubba'", see 44:37 and the corresponding note. The "dwellers of the wooded dales" are the people of Madyan (the Biblical Midian), as is evident from 26:176 ff. Their story is found in the Qur'an in several places; for the most detailed version, see 11:84-95.
