And such were A'ad. They denied the revelations of their Lord and flouted His messengers and followed the command of every froward potentate.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Such were the 'Ad People: they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His messengers; And followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( وتلك عاد جحدوا بآيات ربهم ) [ أي ] كفروا بها ، وعصوا رسل الله ، وذلك أن من كفر بنبي فقد كفر بجميع الأنبياء ، لأنه لا فرق بين أحد منهم في وجوب الإيمان به ، فعاد كفروا بهود ، فنزل كفرهم [ به ] منزلة من كفر بجميع الرسل ، ( واتبعوا أمر كل جبار عنيد ) تركوا اتباع رسولهم الرشيد ، واتبعوا أمر كل جبار عنيد .
