People of Thamud reportedly lived in Hijr at the coast of the Red Sea near Wadi l-Qura which was located on the way from [[Hijaz]] to [[al-Sham]]. According to a [[hadith]], when the army of Islam arrived in Hijr on its way from [[Medina]] to [[Tabuk]], [[the Prophet (s)]] ordered people not to drink from its water and to pass the region while crying lest they be stricken with the same punishments with which the people of Thamud were stricken. Jawad 'Ali maintains that people of Thamud lived in the heights of today’s Hijaz and [[Jordan]]. The Qur'an has not specified the place where people of Thamud lived. | People of Thamud reportedly lived in Hijr at the coast of the Red Sea near Wadi l-Qura which was located on the way from [[Hijaz]] to [[al-Sham]].
