Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Such were ‘Âd (people). They rejected the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord and disobeyed His Messengers, and followed the command of every proud obstinate (oppressor of the truth, from their leaders).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
59. 1 Only one prophet, Hud (علیہ السلام), was sent to the people of 'Ad, but here Allah Almighty has stated that they disobeyed the messengers of Allah. By this, either it is intended to clarify that the denial of one messenger is as if the denial of all messengers, because it is necessary to have faith in all messengers. Or it means that this nation had advanced so far in their disbelief and denial that even if, after Hud (علیہ السلام), We had sent many messengers to this nation, they would have denied all of them. And there was absolutely no hope that they would have believed in any messenger. Or it is possible that other prophets were also sent, and this nation denied each one of them.
59. 2 That is, they denied the messengers of Allah, but this nation followed those who were rebellious and disobedient to the commands of Allah.
