As if they had never prospered therein. Then, away with Madyan as Thamud was taken away.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
It was as if they had never resided there previously. Without doubt, Madyan was distanced from Allah’s mercy when His punishment fell on them, just as Thamūd was driven away from it by Allah’s sending down His anger on them.
