Allah Messenger – Saleh

73. And to the Thamūd [We sent] their brother êāliú. He said, “O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allāh[sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allāh’s land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.
74. And remember when He made you successors after the ‘Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allāh and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.”
75. Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed – to those who believed among them, “Do you [actually] know that êāliú is sent from his Lord?” They said, “Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers.”
76. Said those who were arrogant, “Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers.”
77. So they hamstrung the she-camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, “O êāliú, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers.”
78. So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.

 79.   And he turned away from them and said, “O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors.

147. Within gardens and springs

148. And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

156. And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day.”

157. But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
