Footnotes (the author's commentary)

  1. وادی سے مراد وادی القرُیٰ ہے جہاں اس قوم نے پہاڑوں کو تراش تراش کر  اُن کے اند رعمارتیں بنائی تھیں اور غالباً تاریخ میں وہ پہلی قوم ہے جس نے چٹانوں کے اندر  اس طرح کی عمارتیں بنانے کا سلسلہ شروع کیا تھا(تفصیل کے ملاحظہ ہو ، تفہیم القرآن، جلد دوم، الاعراف، حواشی 59-57۔ الحجر، حاشیہ 45۔ جلد سوم، الشعراء، حواشی 99-95 مع تصاویر)۔

Commentary

آیت 9{ وَثَمُوْدَ الَّذِیْنَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ۔ } ”اور ثمود کے ساتھ کیا کیا آپ کے رب نے جنہوں نے وادی میں چٹانوں کو تراشا تھا۔“ قومِ ثمود کے لوگ پہاڑوں کو تراشنے کے ماہر تھے۔ وہ بڑے بڑے پہاڑوں کو تراش کر خوبصورت کشادہ گھر اور محلات بناتے تھے۔ پہاڑوں سے تراشے ہوئے ان کے گھر اور محلات آج بھی موجود ہیں۔
