80. And the people of the Valley of Hijr [42] also denied the messengers.

[42] By the people of the Valley of Hijr is meant the nation of Thamud, to whom Salih ؑ was sent. And here, where mention is made of several messengers instead of one, it is because the fundamental teachings of all messengers have been the same; therefore, denying one messenger is tantamount to denying all messengers.
