[7:74]

And remember how He made you viceroys after A’ad and gave you station in the earth. Ye choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains into dwellings. So remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil, making mischief in the earth.

[7:75]

The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said unto those whom they despised, unto such of them as believed: Know ye that Salih is one sent from his Lord ? They said: Lo! In that wherewith he hath been sent we are believers.

[7:76]

Those who were scornful said: Lo! in that which ye believe we are disbelievers.

[7:77]

[7:81]

Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk.
