They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]?"

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

I am only a clear warner."

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

'Aad denied the messengers

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

And gardens and springs.

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

And we are not to be punished."

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Thamud denied the messengers

When their brother Salih said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

Within gardens and springs

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

He said, "This is a she-camel. For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

The people of Lot denied the messengers

When their brother Lot said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

Do you approach males among the worlds

And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing."

They said, "If you do not desist, O Lot, you will surely be of those evicted."

He said, "Indeed, I am, toward your deed, of those who detest [it].

My Lord, save me and my family from [the consequence of] what they do."

So We saved him and his family, all,

Except an old woman among those who remained behind.

Then We destroyed the others.

And We rained upon them a rain [of stones], and evil was the rain of those who were warned.

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

So fear Allah and obey me.

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.
