9:70
أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وِأَصْحَابِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
Alam yatihim nabao allatheena min qablihim qawmi noohin waAAadin wathamooda waqawmi ibraheema waashabi madyana waalmutafikati atathum rusuluhum bialbayyinati fama kana Allahu liyathlimahum walakin kanoo anfusahum yathlimoona
Did not arrive to them the news of the people of Noah and AAad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madian and the flipped over towns. Their messengers came to them with the clarifiers. So, it was not for Allah to treat them unfairly but they were unfair to themelves.
The Aya brings to the rejecters the examples of people they heard or knew about and who had bad outcomes as part of their stubbornness in responding poorly the message. The Aya points that those people were unjust to their own selves in the ways they acted.
Madian is a name of a person and a place. The two may be related as in the place is where the person and his offspring lived. Some books of the Tafsir mention that he was a son of Abraham which is also mentioned in the bible. In the Qur’an the place is mentioned within two contexts. One is the story of Shuaib who advised his people of Madian to worship Allah alone and also be fair in their sales and measures (They cheated apparently). They refused and were punished. The other story is the arrival of Moses to Madian where he was given refuge for a few years before returning to Egypt.
Translation of the transliterated words:
