(The tribe of) Thamud denied the messengers (of Allah) (141)

When their brother Salih said unto them: Will ye not ward off (evil)? (142)

Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, (143)

So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. (144)

And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds. (145)

Will ye be left secure in that which is here before us, (146)

In gardens and watersprings. (147)

And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees, (148)

Though ye hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful? (149)

Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me, (150)
