English - Sahih International

The people of Noah denied before them, and [the tribe of] 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes,

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(38:12) Before them the people of Noah, Ad, and Pharaoh of the tent-pegs gave the lie (to the Messengers) *13

Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

*13) The use of dhil-autad (of the stakes) for Pharaoh is either in the sense that his kingdom was very strong as though a stake were firmly driven into the ground, or for the reason that wherever his large armies camped, pegs of the tents were seen driven into the ground on every side, or because he would torture and punish at the stakes anyone with whom he was angry; and possibly the stakes may imply the pyramids of Egypt which seem to be driven into the earth like the stakes.
