for the suffering [predicted by Salih,] befell them [then and there]. In this [story], behold, there is a message [unto men], even though most of them will not believe [in it]

For the (shocking) punishment seized them. Surely in that (which took place between Salih and his people) there is a sign (a great, important lesson). Most of them were not believers
Consequently (the threatened) punishment overtook them. Behold! there is a remarkably great sign in this (episode); yet most of them would not be believers
So the suffering struck them! Indeed, there is a sign – a lesson – in this... Most of them have not believed!
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
So the punishment overtook them; verily in this there is sign, but most of them do not believe
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
They were overtaken by Allah's wrath which spoke thunder. This is indeed emblematic of His Omnipotence and Authority but most of them denied Him Who brought them into existence
