[7:68]
I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and am
for you a true adviser.
[7:69]
Marvel ye that there should come unto you a
Reminder from your Lord by means of a man among you, that he may warn you ?
Remember how He made you viceroys after Noah’s folk, and gave you growth of
stature. Remember (all) the bounties of your Lord, that haply ye may be
successful.
[7:70]

[7:71]
He said: Terror and wrath from your Lord have
already fallen on you. Would ye wrangle with me over names which ye have named,

[7:72]
And We saved him and
those with him by a mercy from Us, and We cut the root of those who denied Our
revelations and were not believers.
[7:73]
And to (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their
brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other God save
Him. A wonder from your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! this
is the camel of Allah, a token unto you; so let her feed in Allah’s earth, and
touch her not with hurt lest painful torment seize you.
