Read in Context

Chapter 26, Page 373, Juz 19

141. The Thamud gave the lie to the Messengers. 142. Recall when their brother Salih said to them: "Have you no fear?" 143. "I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. 144. So fear Allah and obey me. 145. I ask of you no reward. My reward is with none but the Lord of the Universe. 146. Do you believe that you will be left here to live securely in the present state 147. amidst gardens and springs 148. and cornfields and date-palms laden with juicy fruits? 149. You hew dwellings in mountains and exult in that. 150. Fear Allah and obey me 151. and do not follow the biddings of those that go to excesses 152. and spread mischief in the land rather than set things right." 153. They replied: "You are nothing but one of those who are bewitched; 154. you are no different from a mortal like us. So produce a sign if you are truthful." 155. Salih said: "This is a she-camel. There is a day set for her to drink and there is a day set for you to drink. 156. Do not molest her lest the chastisement of an Awesome Day should seize you." 157. But they hamstrung her and then regretted it. 158. So the chastisement seized them. Surely there is a Sign in this, but most of them would not believe. 159. Verily Your Lord is Immensely Mighty, Most Compassionate.
