As for A'ad, they were arrogant in the land without right, and they said: Who is mightier than us in power? Could they not see that Allah Who created them, He was mightier than them in power? And they denied Our revelations. (۱۵)

Therefor We let loose on them a raging wind in evil days, that We might make them taste the torment of disgrace in the life of the world. And verily the doom of the Hereafter will be more shameful, and they will not be helped. (۱۶)

And as for Thamud, We gave them guidance, but they preferred blindness to the guidance, so the bolt of the doom of humiliation overtook them because of what they used to earn. (۱۷)

And We delivered those who believed and used to keep their duty to Allah. (۱۸)

And (make mention of) the day when the enemies of Allah are gathered unto the Fire, they are driven on (۱۹)

Till, when they reach it, their ears and their eyes and their skins testify against them as to what they used to do. (۲۰)

And they say unto their skins: Why testify ye against us? They say: Allah hath given us speech Who giveth speech to all things, and Who created you at the first, and unto Whom ye are returned. (۲۱)

Ye did not hide yourselves lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you, but ye deemed that Allah knew not much of what ye did. (۲۲)

That, your thought which ye did think about your Lord, hath ruined you; and ye find yourselves (this day) among the lost. (۲۳)

And though they are resigned, yet the Fire is still their home; and if they ask for favour, yet they are not of those unto whom favour can be shown. (۲۴)
