Transliteration:( Allatee lam yukhlaq misluhaa fil bilaad )
8. Who were tall and handsome. The smallest among them were 36 feet tall. Or, no settlement had been made like the paradise of Iram, which was constructed with the bricks of gold and silver and kneaded clay of musk and ambergris. The pillars were made of rubies and topaz. Rivers were made to flow of pure gems. Instead of stones lustrous gems and refulgent rubies had been laid out.Â

Please refer to Surah Fajr ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 14.
(89:8) the like of whom no nation was ever created in the lands of the world?[4]
4. That is, they were a matchless people of their time; no other nation in the world compares with them in strength, glory and grandeur. At other places in the Quran, it has been said about them: Your Lord made you very robust. (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 69). As for the Aad, they became arrogant with pride in the land, without any right, and said: Who is stronger than us in might. (Surah HaMim As- Sajdah, Ayat 15). When you seized somebody, you seized him like a tyrant. (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayat 130).
