Tafseer of Surah Qaf Ayat 12 to 14. Before them was denied (the Hereafter) by the People of Noah PBUH, the Companions of the Rass, the Thamud, Just the names of the peoples of Arabian tradition who were punished for their sins are mentioned; their stories will be found elsewhere. For the People of Noah PBUH, see 11:25 -48 and other passages. For the Companions of the Rass, see 25:38; for 'Ad and Thamud, see 26:123-158, and other passages; for Pharaoh and his People, see 2:49-50 and other passages: for the Brethren of Prophet Lut PBUH, see 7:80-84, and other passages; for the Companions of the Wood, see 15:78-79; and for the People of Tubba, see 44:37. The Companions of the Wood, and the People of Tubba´; each one (of them) rejected the messengers, and My warning was duly fulfilled (in them). 

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said,  , "When any one of you is observing Saum (fasting) on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise the voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: `I am observing fast.''' [Al-Bukhari Book 03, Chapter 31, Hadith # 118]. 

Lesson: We learn from it that during Saum not only food, drink and husband and wife closeness are prohibited but the improper use of the tongue and the other organs of the body as well. When one is observing Saum, he should neither use abusive language nor talk foolishly nor tell lies nor make obscene conversation nor indulge in backbiting nor quarrel with anyone. If someone provokes him, he should keep himself quiet and remember that he is observing Saum and he has to abstain from such things. As far as possible, he should keep his tongue engaged in the remembrance of Allah and recitation of the Qur'an.
