Surah Al Araaf

73 To the Thamud people (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she-camel of Allah is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment.

74 "And remember how He made you inheritors after the 'Ad people and gave you habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains, and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."

75 The leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were reckoned powerless - those among them who believed: "know ye indeed that Salih is a messenger from his Lord?" They said: "We do indeed believe in the revelation which hath been sent through him."

76 The Arrogant party said: "For our part, we reject what ye believe in."

77 Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"

78 So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning!

79 So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!"

Surah Hud

61 To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is (always) near, ready to answer."

62 They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."

63 He said: "O my people! do ye see? if I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord and He hath sent Mercy unto me from Himself,- who then can help me against Allah if I were to disobey Him? What then would ye add to my (portion) but perdition?

64 "And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth, and inflict no harm on her, or a swift penalty will seize you!"

65 But they did ham-string her. So he said: "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days: (Then will be your ruin): (Behold) there a promise not to be belied!"

66 When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will.

67 The (mighty) Blast overtook the wrong-doers, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning,-

68 As if they had never dwelt and flourished there. Ah! Behold! for the Thamud rejected their Lord and Cherisher! Ah! Behold! removed (from sight) were the Thamud!

Surah Ash Shuaraa

141 The Thamud (people) rejected the messengers.

142 Behold, their brother Salih said to them: "Will you not fear (Allah)?

143 "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust.

144 "So fear Allah, and obey me.

145 "No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds.

146 "Will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?-

147 "Gardens and Springs,

148 "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)?

149 "And ye carve houses out of (rocky) mountains with great skill.

150 "But fear Allah and obey me;

151 "And follow not the bidding of those who are extravagant,-

152 "Who make mischief in the land, and mend not (their ways)."

153 They said: "Thou art only one of those bewitched!

154 "Thou art no more than a mortal like us: then bring us a Sign, if thou tellest the truth!"

155 He said: "Here is a she-camel: she has a right of watering, and ye have a right of watering, (severally) on a day appointed.

156 "Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."

157 But they ham-strung her: then did they become full of regrets.

158 But the Penalty seized them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

159 And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

Surah An Naml

45 We sent (aforetime), to the Thamud, their brother Salih, saying, "Serve Allah": But behold, they became two factions quarrelling with each other.

46 He said: "O my people! why ask ye to hasten on the evil in preference to the good? If only ye ask Allah for forgiveness, ye may hope to receive mercy.

47 They said: "Ill omen do we augur from thee and those that are with thee". He said: "Your ill omen is with Allah; yea, ye are a people under trial."

48 There were in the city nine men of a family, who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.

49 They said: "Swear a mutual oath by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his people, and that we shall then say to his heir (when he seeks vengeance): 'We were not present at the slaughter of his people, and we are positively telling the truth.'"

50 They plotted and planned, but We too planned, even while they perceived it not.

51 Then see what was the end of their plot!- this, that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).

52 Now such were their houses, - in utter ruin, - because they practised wrong-doing. Verily in this is a Sign for people of knowledge.

53 And We saved those who believed and practised righteousness.

Al Qamar

23 The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners.

24 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad!

25 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!"

26 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one!

27 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience!

28 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns).

29 But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her).

30 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!

31 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle.
