You have no god other than He; there has now come to you a clear sign from your Lord -- this is the She-camel of God, to be a sign for you. Leave her that she may eat in God's earth, and do not touch her with evil, lest you be seized by a painful chastisement. 73 And remember when He made you successors after Ad and settled you in the land-- you make mansions on its plains and hew out houses in the mountains-- remember therefore Allah's benefits and do not act corruptly in the land, making mischief. 74 The proud assembly of his nation said to the weak? amongst them who believed: 'Do you really believe that Salih is sent from his Lord' They answered: 'We believe in that with which he was sent' 75 Those who were haughty said: Surely we are deniers of what you believe in. 76 So they hamstrung the she-camel, and they flouted the commandment of their Lord, and they said: O Salih!

You have become transgressing people. 81 And his people had no answer except to say, “Turn them out of your dwellings; these are people who wish purity!” 82 And We rescued him and his household, save his wife, who was of those who stayed behind. 83 And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime! 84
