Shuayb (peace be upon him)

The people of the Wood too called the messengers liars.

When Shu'aib said to them: "Will you not take heed?

I have been sent as a trusted messenger to you.

So fear God and follow me.

I ask no recompense of you for this. My reward is due from none but the Lord of all the worlds.

Give full measure and do not cheat;

Weigh on an even balance.

And do not withhold from people what belongs to them, and do not corrupt the land;

And fear Him who created you and all the earlier people."

They said: "Surely you are deluded.

You are nothing but a man like us, and we think you are a liar.

But in case you are speaking the truth, then make a segment of the sky to fall upon us."

(Shu'aib) said: "My Lord knows well what you are doing."

But they denied him, and We seized them with the torment of the Day of Shadowing (when the cloud had rained down fire). It was indeed the torment of a terrible day!

Verily in this was a sign, but most of them do not believe.

Yet verily your Lord is mighty and merciful.
