And when Our command came, We saved Hūd and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.

And that was ʿAad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.

And they were [therefore] followed in this world with a curse and [as well] on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, ʿAad denied their Lord; then away with ʿAad, the people of Hūd.

And to Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."
قَالُوا۟ They said qālū O Salih yāṣāliḥu Verily qad you were kunta among us fīnā the one in whom hope was placed marjuwwan before qabla this hādhā Do you forbid us atanhānā that an we worship naʿbuda what mā our forefathers worshipped yaʿbudu our forefathers worshipped ābāunā And indeed we wa-innanā surely (are) in lafī doubt shakkin about what mimmā you call us tadʿūnā to it ilayhi suspicious murībin
They said, "O Ṣāliḥ, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."
