80. 1. The settlements of the people of Thamud, the nation of Prophet Salih (عليه السلام), were called (اَصْحٰبُ الْحِـجْرِ) 15. Al-Hijr:80) (the dwellers of Al-Hijr). This settlement was located between Madinah and Tabuk. They denied their prophet, Prophet Salih (عليه السلام). But here Allah Almighty said, "They denied the messengers," because denying one messenger is just like denying all the messengers.
