Tafsir Ibn Kathir
The Story of ` Ad Allah states that ` Ad, the People of Hud, denied their Messenger, just as the people of Nuh did. So, Allah sent on them, عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً صَرْصَراً (against them a violently cold (Sarsar) wind), means, a bitterly cold and furious wind, فِى يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ (on a day of calamity), against them, according to Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah and As-Suddi, مُّسْتَمِرٌّ (continuous), upon them because the calamity, torment and destruction that they suffered in this life on that day continued with that of the Hereafter, تَنزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍ (Plucking out men as if they were uprooted stems of date palms.) The wind would pluck one of them and raise him high, until he could no longer be seen, and then violently send him down on his head to the ground. His head would be smashed and only his body would be left, headless, كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُّنقَعِرٍفَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ (as if they were uprooted stems of date palms. Then, how was My torment and My warnings And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any that will remember)
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Salafi Approvedکفار کی بدترین روایات اللہ تعالیٰ خبر دیتا ہے کہ قوم ہود نے بھی اللہ کے رسولوں کو جھوٹا کہا اور بالکل قوم نوح کی طرح سرکشی پر اتر آئے تو ان پر سخت ٹھنڈی مہلک ہوا بھیجی گئی وہ دن ان کے لئے سراسر منحوس تھا برابر ان پر ہوائیں چلتی رہیں اور انہیں تہ وبالا کرتی رہیں، دنیوی اور اخروی عذاب میں گرفتار کر لئے گئے ہوا کا جھونکا آتا ان میں سے کسی کو اٹھا کرلے جاتا یہاں تک کہ زمین والوں کی حد نظر سے وہ بالا ہوجاتا پھر اسے زمین پر اوندھے منہ پھینک دیتا سر کچل جاتا بھیجا نکل پڑتا، سر الگ دھڑ الگ ایسا معلوم ہوتا گویا کھجور کے درخت کے بن سرے ٹنڈ ہیں دیکھو میرا عذاب کیسا ہوا ؟ میں نے قرآن کو آسان کردیا جو چاہے نصیحت و عبرت حاصل کرلے۔
