quran:27:48

And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending ˹its affairs˺.  

And there were in the city, the city of Thamūd, a band of nine men, that is, ˹nine˺ men, who were causing corruption in the land, with acts of disobedience, which included their corroding of dinar and dirham coins ˹rendering them worthless˺, and did not reform ˹their ways˺, through obedience ˹to God˺.
القرآن:٢٧:٤٨

وَكَانَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ  

{وكان في المدينة} مدينة ثمود {تسعة رهط} أي رجال {يفسدون في الأرض} بالمعاصي منها قرضهم الدنانير والدراهم {ولا يصلحون} بالطاعة.
