7:73
وَإِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحا ً قَالَ يَاقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَه ٍٍ غَيْرُه ُُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكُمْ بَيِّنَة ٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ هَذِه ِِ نَاقَةُ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ آيَة ً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِي أَرْضِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوء ٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيم ٌ
Wa 'Ilá Thamūda 'Akhāhum Şāliĥāan Qāla Yā Qawmi A`budū Allāha Mā Lakum Min 'Ilahin Ghayruhu Qad Jā'atkum Bayyinatun Min Rabbikum Hadhihi Nāqatu Allāhi Lakum 'Āyatan Fadharūhā Ta'kul Fī 'ArĐi Allāhi Wa Lā Tamassūhā Bisū'in Faya'khudhakum `Adhābun 'Alīmun
And to Thamud, We sent their brother Saleh, he said: "My people, serve God, you have no god besides Him; clarity has come to you from your Lord, this is the camel of God, in her you have a sign, so leave her to eat in God's earth, and do not harm her, else the painful retribution will take you."
9:70
أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوح ٍ وَعَاد ٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَأَصْحَابِ مَدْيَنَ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالبَيِّنَاتِ فَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
'Alam Ya'tihim Naba'u Al-Ladhīna Min Qablihim Qawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa Qawmi 'Ibrāhīma Wa 'Aşĥābi Madyana Wa Al-Mu'utafikāti 'Atat/hum Rusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Famā Kāna Allāhu Liyažlimahum Wa Lakin Kānū 'Anfusahum Yažlimūna
Did the news not come to them of those before them, the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud. And the people of Abraham, and the dwellers of Midyan, and those overthrown. Their messengers came to them with clarity; it was not God who wronged them, but it was themselves that they wronged.
11:61
وَإِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحا ً قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَه ٍٍ غَيْرُه ُُ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاسْتَغْفِرُوه ُُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيب ٌ مُجِيب ٌ
Wa 'Ilá Thamūda 'Akhāhum Şāliĥāan Qāla Yā Qawmi A`budū Allāha Mā Lakum Min 'Ilahin Ghayruhu Huwa 'Ansha'akum Mina Al-'ArĐi Wa Asta`marakum Fīhā Fāstaghfirūhu Thumma Tūbū 'Ilayhi 'Inna Rabbī Qarībun Mujībun
And to Thamud was their brother Saleh. He said: "O my people, serve God, you have no god besides Him. He has established you from the earth, and has made you settle in it; so seek His forgiveness, then repent to Him. My Lord is Near, Responsive."
11:68
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا أَلاَ إِنَّ ثَمُودَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّهُمْ أَلاَ بُعْدا ً لِثَمُودَ
Ka'an Lam Yaghnaw Fīhā 'Alā 'Inna Thamūda Kafarū Rabbahum 'Alā Bu`dāan Lithamūda
It is as if they had never lived there. For Thamud rejected their Lord. So away with Thamud.
11:68
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا أَلاَ إِنَّ ثَمُودَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّهُمْ أَلاَ بُعْدا ً لِثَمُودَ
Ka'an Lam Yaghnaw Fīhā 'Alā 'Inna Thamūda Kafarū Rabbahum 'Alā Bu`dāan Lithamūda
It is as if they had never lived there. For Thamud rejected their Lord. So away with Thamud.
11:95
كَأَنْ لَمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا أَلاَ بُعْدا ً لِمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ
Ka'an Lam Yaghnaw Fīhā 'Alā Bu`dāan Limadyana Kamā Ba`idat Thamūdu
It is as if they had never lived there. Away with Midyan as it was away with Thamud.
14:9
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ قَوْمِ نُوح ٍ وَعَاد ٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرَدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا إِنَّا كَفَرْنَا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُمْ بِه ِِ وَإِنَّا لَفِي شَكّ ٍ مِمَّا تَدْعُونَنَا إِلَيْهِ مُرِيب ٍ
'Alam Ya'tikum Naba'u Al-Ladhīna Min Qablikum Qawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa Al-Ladhīna Min Ba`dihim Lā Ya`lamuhum 'Illā Allāhu Jā'at/hum Rusuluhum Bil-Bayyināti Faraddū 'Aydiyahum Fī 'Afwāhihim Wa Qālū 'Innā Kafarnā Bimā 'Ursiltum Bihi Wa 'Innā Lafī Shakkin Mimmā Tad`ūnanā 'Ilayhi Murībin
Did not news come to you of those before you: the people of Noah, and 'Aad, and Thamud, and those after them whom none know except God? Their messengers came to them with clarity, but they placed their hands onto their mouths and said: "We are rejecting what you have been sent with, and we are in doubt as to what you are inviting us to."
17:59
وَمَا مَنَعَنَا أَنْ نُرْسِلَ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ أَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهَا الأَوَّلُونَ وَآتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ النَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَة ً فَظَلَمُوا بِهَا وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِالآيَاتِ إِلاَّ تَخْوِيفا ً
Wa Mā Mana`anā 'An Nursila Bil-'Āyāti 'Illā 'An Kadhdhaba Bihā Al-'Awwalūna Wa 'Ātaynā Thamūda An-Nāqata Mubşiratan Fažalamū Bihā Wa Mā Nursilu Bil-'Āyāti 'Illā Takhwīfāan
And what stopped Us from sending the signs except that the previous people disbelieved in them. And We sent to Thamud the camel with foresight, but they did her wrong. And We do not send the signs except to make them fearful.
22:42
وَإِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوح ٍ وَعَاد ٌ وَثَمُودُ
Wa 'In Yukadhdhibūka Faqad Kadhdhabat Qablahum Qawmu Nūĥin Wa `Ādun Wa Thamūdu
And if they deny you, then before them the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud had also denied.
25:38
وَعَادا ً وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونا ً بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ كَثِيرا ً
Wa `Ādāan Wa Thamūda Wa 'Aşĥāba Ar-Rassi Wa Qurūnāan Bayna Dhālika Kathīrāan
And 'Aad and Thamud and the dwellers of Arras, and many generations in between.
26:141
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Kadhdhabat Thamūdu Al-Mursalīna
Thamud denied the messengers.
27:45
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحاً أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā 'Ilá Thamūda 'Akhāhum Şāliĥāan 'Ani A`budū Allāha Fa'idhā Hum Farīqāni Yakhtaşimūna
And We have sent to Thamud their brother Saleh: "You shall serve God." But they became two disputing groups.
29:38
وَعَادا ً وَثَمُودَ وَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَكَانُوا مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ
Wa `Ādāan Wa Thamūda Wa Qad Tabayyana Lakum Min Masākinihim Wa Zayyana Lahumu Ash-Shayţānu 'A`mālahum Faşaddahum `Ani As-Sabīli Wa Kānū Mustabşirīna
And 'Aad and Thamud. Much was made apparent to you from their dwellings. The devil had adorned their works in their eyes, thus he diverted them from the path, even though they could see.
38:13
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوْمُ لُوط ٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الأَيْكَةِ أُوْلَائِكَ الأَحْزَابُ
Wa Thamūdu Wa Qawmu Lūţin Wa 'Aşĥābu Al-'Aykati 'Ūlā'ika Al-'Aĥzābu
And Thamud, and the people of Lot, and the dwellers of the Canyon; these are the Confederates.
40:31
مِثْلَ دَأْبِ قَوْمِ نُوح ٍ وَعَاد ٍ وَثَمُودَ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ وَمَا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْما ً لِلْعِبَادِ
Mithla Da'bi Qawmi Nūĥin Wa `Ādin Wa Thamūda Wa Al-Ladhīna Min Ba`dihim Wa Mā Allāhu Yurīdu žulmāan Lil`ibādi
Like the fate of the people of Noah, Aad, and Thamud, and those after them. And God does not wish any injustice for the servants.
41:13
فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَقُلْ أَنذَرْتُكُمْ صَاعِقَة ً مِثْلَ صَاعِقَةِ عَاد ٍ وَثَمُودَ
Fa'in 'A`raĐū Faqul 'Andhartukum Şā`iqatan Mithla Şā`iqati `Ādin Wa Thamūda
But if they turn away, then say: I have warned you of a destruction like the destruction of Aad and Thamud.
41:17
وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ فَاسْتَحَبُّوا الْعَمَى عَلَى الْهُدَى فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَاعِقَةُ الْعَذَابِ الْهُونِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
Wa 'Ammā Thamūdu Fahadaynāhum Fāstaĥabbū Al-`Amá `Alá Al-Hudá Fa'akhadhat/hum Şā`iqatu Al-`Adhābi Al-Hūni Bimā Kānū Yaksibūna
And as for Thamud, We gave them the guidance, but they preferred blindness over guidance. Consequently, the blast of humiliating retribution annihilated them, because of what they earned.
50:12
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوح ٍ وَأَصْحَابُ الرَّسِّ وَثَمُودُ
Kadhdhabat Qablahum Qawmu Nūĥin Wa 'Aşĥābu Ar-Rassi Wa Thamūdu
Before their denial was that of the people of Noah, and the dwellers of Al-Raas, and Thamud.
51:43
وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا حَتَّى حِين ٍ
Wa Fī Thamūda 'Idh Qīla Lahum Tamatta`ū Ĥattá Ĥīnin
And also Thamud, for it was said to them: Enjoy for a while.
53:51
وَثَمُودَ فَمَا أَبْقَى
Wa Thamūda Famā 'Abqá
And from Thamud He left none.
54:23

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ

Pharaoh and Thamud?
89:9
وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُوا الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ
Wa Thamūda Al-Ladhīna Jābū Aş-Şakhra Bil-Wādi
And Thamud who carved the rocks in the valley?
