إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ

for I truly fear that the torment of a grievous day will overtake you.’


قَالُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡنَآ أَوَعَظۡتَ أَمۡ لَمۡ تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡوَٰعِظِينَ

They replied, ‘It makes no difference to us whether you warn us or not,

Their brother Salih said to them, ‘Will you not be mindful of God?
