The Holy Quran 15:78 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَـٰلِمِينَ

Translation

Without doubt, the people of Aykah (the nation of Shu'ayb عليه الصلاة والسلام) were oppressors (because they rejected the message of Shu'ayb عليه الصلاة والسلام cheated people in business, robbed people and committed Shirk).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Companions of the Thicket (Aykah): that is, “the dwellers of the forest”: the people of Shu'ayb ﵇ lived in the city of “Madyan”, near which there was a forest; some of them probably lived there. Some say that the Companions of the Thicket and the people of Madyan are two separate nations. Shu'ayb ﵇ was sent to both of them.
