Chapter 27, Page 381, Juz 19

45. And We verily sent unto Thamud their brother Salih, saying: Worship Allah. And lo! they (then became two parties quarrelling. 46. He said: O my people! Why will ye hasten on the evil rather than the good? Why will ye not ask pardon of Allah, that ye may receive mercy. 47. They said: We augur evil of thee and those with thee. He said: Your evil augury is with Allah. Nay, but ye are folk that are being tested. 48. And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in the land and reformed not. 49. They said: Swear one to another by Allah that we verily will attack him and his household by night, and afterward we will surely say unto his friend: We witnessed not the destruction of his household. And lo! we are truthtellers. 50. So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not. 51. Then see the nature of the consequence of their plotting, for lo! We destroyed them and their people, every one. 52. See, yonder are their dwellings empty and in ruins because they did wrong. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for a people who have knowledge. 53. And we saved those who believed and used to ward off (evil).
