Sura 11
Aya 58
58
وَلَمّا جاءَ أَمرُنا نَجَّينا هودًا وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مَعَهُ بِرَحمَةٍ مِنّا وَنَجَّيناهُم مِن عَذابٍ غَليظٍ

Muhammad Asad

And so, when Our judgment came to pass,1 by Our grace We saved Hud and those who shared his faith; and We saved them [too] from suffering severe [in the life to come].2
  • For the story of the destruction of the tribe of 'Ad through violent storm-winds, see 54:19 and, more particularly, 69:6-8.
  • I.e., the suffering which was yet to befall the rest of the tribe of 'Ad. My addition, between brackets, of the words "in the life to come" is based on the interpretation advanced by Tabari, Zamakhshari and Razi, according to whom the first mention of the saving of Hud and his followers refers to the destruction of the people of 'Ad in this world, and the second, to the latters' chastisement in the hereafter.
