PROPHET SALEH [METHUSELAH (P.B.U.H.)]
What Quran said about him?

And unto (the tribe of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He said: O my people! Serve Allah, you have no other Allah save Him. He brought you forth from the earth and has made you husband it. So ask forgiveness of Him and turn unto Him repentant. Lo! My Lord is Nigh, Responsive. [Surah Hud (Chapter of Hud), Verses 61]

And remember how He made you viceroys after A'ad and gave you station in the earth. You choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains into dwellings. So remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil, making mischief in the earth. • The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said unto those whom they despised, unto such of them as believed: Know you that Salih is one sent from his Lord? They said: Lo! In that wherewith he has been sent we are believers. • Those who were scornful said: Lo! In that which you believe we are disbelievers. [Surah Al-A'raf (Chapter of the Battlements), Verses 74-76]

They said: O Salih! You have been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Do you ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped? Lo! We verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which you call us. • He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on clear proof from my Lord and there has come unto me a mercy from Him, who will save me from Allah if I disobey Him? You would add to me naught save perdition. [Surah Hud (Chapter of Hud), Verses 62-63]

… Will you not ward off (evil)? • Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you, • So keep your duty to Allah and obey me. • And I ask of you no wage therefor; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds. • Will you be left secure in that which is here before us, • In gardens and water springs. • And tilled fields and heavy-sheathed palm-trees, • Though you hew out dwellings in the mountain, being skilful? • Therefor keep your duty to Allah and obey me, • And obey not the command of the prodigal, • Who spread corruption in the earth, and reform not. [Surah Al-Shu'arah (Chapter of the Poets), Verses 142-152]

… O my people! Why will you hasten on the evil rather than the good? Why will you not ask pardon of Allah, that you may receive mercy? • They said: We augur evil of you and those with you. He said: Your evil augury is with Allah. Nay, but you are folk that are being tested. • And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in the land and reformed not. • 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 truth tellers. • So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not.[Surah Al-Naml (Chapter of the Ant), Verses 46-50]

They said: you are but one of the bewitched. [Surah Al-Shu'arah (Chapter of the Poets), Verse 153]

Has the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. • (Unto their warner it was said): Tomorrow they will know who is the rash liar. [Surah Qamar (Chapter of the Moon), Verses 25-26]

You are but a mortal like us. So bring some token if you are of the truthful. [Surah Al-Shu'arah (Chapter of the Poets), Verse 154]

Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; • And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. • But they called their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). • Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! • Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold. [Surah Qamar (Chapter of the Moon), Verses 27-31]

So, when Our commandment came to pass, We saved Salih, and those who believed with him, by a mercy from Us, from the ignominy of that day. Lo! Your Lord! He is the Strong, the Mighty. • And the (awful) Cry overtook those who did wrong, so that morning found them prostrate in their dwellings, [Surah Hud (Chapter of Hud), Verses 66-67]

And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.[Surah Al-Dhariyah (Chapter of the Scatterers), Verse 45]

… As though they had not dwelt there. Lo! Thamud disbelieved in their Lord. A far removal for Thamud! [Surah Hud (Chapter of Hud), Verse 68]

And lo! Your Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful. [Surah Al-Shu'arah (Chapter of the Poets), Verse 159]
