تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

قال الله : ( فكذبوه فعقروها ) أي : كذبوه فيما جاءهم به فأعقبهم ذلك أن عقروا الناقة التي أخرجها الله من الصخرة آية لهم وحجة عليهم ، ( فدمدم عليهم ربهم بذنبهم ) أي : غضب عليهم ، فدمر عليهم ، ( فسواها ) أي : فجعل العقوبة نازلة عليهم على السواء .

قال قتادة : بلغنا أن أحيمر ثمود لم يعقر الناقة حتى تابعه صغيرهم وكبيرهم ، وذكرهم وأنثاهم ، فلما اشترك القوم في عقرها دمدم الله عليهم بذنوبهم فسواها .
