69* "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? Call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah. that so ye may prosper."  
| |70* They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up that which our fathers used to worship? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!"  
| |71* He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers,- without authority from Allah? Then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."  
| |72* We saved him and those who adhered to him, by Our Mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our Signs and did not believe.  
| |73* To the Thamd people (We sent) Slih, 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 d 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 Slih 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 Slih! 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!
