Al-Ahqáf 46:21 ۞ واذكر اخا عاد اذ انذر قومه بالاحقاف وقد خلت النذر من بين يديه ومن خلفه الا تعبدوا الا الله اني اخاف عليكم عذاب يوم عظيم ٢١
۞ وَٱذۡكُرۡ
أَخَا
عَادٍ
إِذۡ
أَنذَرَ
قَوۡمَهُۥ
بِٱلۡأَحۡقَافِ
وَقَدۡ
خَلَتِ
ٱلنُّذُرُ
مِنۢ

يَدَيۡهِ
وَمِنۡ
خَلۡفِهِۦٓ
أَلَّا
تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ
إِلَّا
ٱللَّهَ
إِنِّيٓ
أَخَافُ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
عَذَابَ
