﴿ وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍۢ مِّن قَبْلُ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَىٰ ﴾

(And the folk of Noah) and He also destroyed the folk of Noah (aforetime) before the folk of Salih, (lo! They) i.e. the folk of Noah (were more unjust) more intense in their disbelief (and more rebellious) in their transgression and sinning;
