Please refer to Surah Shura ayat 136 which provides the complete commentary from verse 136 through 140.
(26:139) Eventually they gave the lie to him and We destroyed them.[94] Surely there is a Sign in this, but most of them would not believe.
94. According to the Quran, the people of Aad were destroyed by a violent windstorm. When they saw it advancing towards their valleys, they rejoiced with the hope that those were dense clouds which would bring much rain for them, but in reality it was Allah’s scourge. The windstorm continued to rage for eight days and seven nights and destroyed everything. The people were swept away like straw and everything on which the hot, dry wind blew was left rotting. The storm did not abate until the last man of the wicked tribe had met his doom. Only ruins of their habitations remained to tell the tale of their terrible fate, and today even the ruins have become extinct. The whole territory of Ahqaf has turned into dreadful desert dunes. For details, see (Surah Al-Ahqaf, ayat 21) note 25.
