آیه: 79

فَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَقَدۡ أَبۡلَغۡتُكُمۡ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَنَصَحۡتُ لَكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُحِبُّونَ ٱلنَّٰصِحِينَ

(79) He turned away from them and said: “My people, indeed I have delivered the Message of my Lord to you, gave you sincere advice, but you like not those who give advice!”^[1678]

[1678] This theatrical aside of the monologue beautifully captures the depth of the desolation Prophet Ṣālīh (عليه السلام) felt upon seeing the ghastly sight of his own people, lifeless, flipped on their faces and stuck in the ground: “As for Thamūd, We showed them guidance, but they preferred blindness over guidance. So the blast of a disgracing Punishment overtook them for what they used to earn” (41: 17).
