فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ غُثَاءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
41. So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.
وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا
38. And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.
كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
123. 'Aad denied the messengers
إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
124. When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?
إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
125. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
126. So fear Allah and obey me.
وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
127. And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ آيَةً تَعْبَثُونَ
128. Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,
وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ
129. And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
131. So fear Allah and obey me.
