وَأَصْحَـٰبُ مَدْيَنَ ۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ
Waa s ha bu madyana waku thth iba moos a faamlaytu lilk a fireena thumma akha th tuhum fakayfa k a na nakeer i
and the dwellers of Madyan; and [so, too,] Moses was given the lie [by Pharaoh].60 And [in every case] I gave rein, for a while, to the deniers of the truth: but then I took them to task - and how awesome was My denial [of them]!
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., not by his own people, since these, despite their sinning, had accepted him as God's prophet (Tabari). References to the tribes of 'Ad and Thamud and the people of Madyan are given in surah {7}, notes [48], [56] and [67].

as well as the residents of Madyan had denied their Prophets, likewise Musa (Moses) was also denied. Initially, I gave respite to all those unbelievers and then I seized them: see how terrible was My disapproval!
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied 'too'. But I delayed 'the fate of' the disbelievers 'until their appointed time' then seized them. And how severe was My response!
  - Mustafa Khattab
(And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And the Companions of the Madyan people: and Moses was rejected (in the same way). But I granted respite to the Unbelievers and (only) after that did I punish them: but how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)! 2821 2822
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Were they the same as the Companions of the Wood? See n. 2000 to xv. 78.

My Wrath on them, and the complete reversal of their fortune in consequence.
