The leaders of his people said, “”We certainly see you in clear error.””

He said, “”O my people! there is no error in me but I am a messenger from the Fosterer of the worlds.

I convey to you the messages of my Fosterer and advise you, and I know from Allah that which you do not know.

What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Fosterer through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may guard (against evil) and that you may be dealt with mercifully?””

But they denied him so We delivered him and those with him in the ship and We drowned those who denied Our signs, they were certainly a blind people. (R 8)

And to (the tribe of) Aad, (We had sent) their brother Hud. He said (to them), “”O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him, will you not then guard (against evil)?””

The leaders of those who did not believe from among his people said, “”We certainly see you in foolishness and we certainly think that you are of the liars.””

He said, “”O my people! I am not in foolishness, but I am a messenger from the Fosterer of the worlds.

I convey to you the messages of my Fosterer and I am a trustworthy adviser to you.

What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Fosterer through a man from among you that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Nuh and caused you to grow into an extensive creation (nation), so remember the bounties of Allah that you may be successful.””

They said, “”Have you come to us (to tell us) that we should worship Allah alone and leave off (worshipping) that which our forefathers worshipped? Then bring to us that with which you threaten us, if you are of the truthful.

He said, “”Uncleanliness and anger from your Fosterer have already fallen on you. What! do you dispute with me about names which you have named, you and your forefathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority, then wait, I (too), with you, will be one of those who wait.””

So We delivered him and those with him by mercy from Us and We cut off the roots of those who denied Our signs and were not believers. (R 9)

And to (the tribe of) Samood (We had sent) their brother Salih. He said (to them), “”O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him, clear proof has indeed come to you from your Fosterer, this is the she-camel of Allah, a sign for you, so leave her to pasture in Allahs earth and do not touch her to harm (her), otherwise a painful punishment will seize you.

And remember when He made you successors after Aad and settled you in the earth, you build palaces in its plains and carve out houses in the mountains, so remember the bounties of Allah and do not cause disturbance in the earth being corrupt.””

The leaders of his people who considered themselves great, said to those who believed from among those who were considered weak, “”Do you surely know that Salih is a messenger from his Fosterer?”” They said, “”Certainly, we are believers in that with which he has been sent.””

Those who considered themselves great said, “”We do not believe in that which you believe.””

So they killed the she-camel and revolted against the commandment of their Fosterer and (then) they said, “”O Salih! bring on us what you threaten us with, if you are of the messengers (sent by Allah).””

So the earthquake took hold of them, thus they became motionless in their houses.

Then he (Salih) turned away from them and said, “”O my people! I had conveyed to you the message of my Fosterer and given you good advice but you do not love good advisers.””
