Surah Hud ayat 66 Tafsir Quran 11:66

﴿فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَالِحًا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْقَوِيُّ الْعَزِيزُ﴾
[ هود: 66]

11:66 So when Our command came, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day. Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

So when Our command came for their destruction We delivered Sālih and those who believed with him they numbered 4000 by a mercy from Us and We delivered them from the ignominy of that day read yawmi’idhin if understood as declinable or read yawma’idhin on the basis of it yawm ‘day’ being annexed to an invariable idhin ‘that’ which is the majority view. Truly your Lord is the Strong the Mighty the Victor.

When Our command came to pass, We rescued Saleh and those who gave credence to his mission and acknowledged Allahs message, an act of mercy vouchsafed by us to save them from the shame and the multiplied humiliations incurred on that Momentous Day. Allah, your Creator is indeed AL-Qawiy(the Omnipotent) and AL- Aziz Who prevails against the whole and all in all

The Conversation between Salih and the People of Thamud Allah, the Exalted, mentions what transpired in the discussion between Salih and his people.
Allah informs of their ignorance and obstinacy in their statement, قَدْ كُنتَ فِينَا مَرْجُوًّا قَبْلَ هَـذَا ( You have been among us as a figure of good hope till this! ) They were saying in this, "We had hope in your strong intellect before you began saying what you have said." أَتَنْهَانَآ أَن نَّعْبُدَ مَا يَعْبُدُ ءابَاؤُنَا ( Do you (now ) forbid us the worship of what our fathers have worshipped) "what those who were before us were upon." وَإِنَّنَا لَفِى شَكٍّ مِّمَّا تَدْعُونَآ إِلَيْهِ مُرِيبٍ ( But we are really in grave doubt as to that which you invite us. ) This alludes to the great amount of doubt that they had. قَالَ يقَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى ( He said: "O my people! Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord..." ) `In reference to what He ( Allah ) has sent me with to you, I am upon conviction and sure evidence.' وَءَاتَـنِى مِنْهُ رَحْمَةً فَمَن يَنصُرُنِى مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُ ( and there has come to me a mercy from Him, who then can help me against Allah, if I were to disobey Him ) `and abandon calling you to the truth and the worship of Allah alone.
If I did so, you would not be able to bring me any benefit, nor increase me غَيْرَ تَخْسِيرٍ ( but in loss. )' This means loss and ruin.

(11:66) Then, when Our command came to pass, We saved Salih and those who shared his faith through Our special mercy, from the disgrace of that day. *74 Truly Your Lord is All-Strong, All-Mighty.

So when Our command came, We saved meaning

*74).
The folk traditions of the Sinaitic Peninsula indicate that when a severe punishment afflicted the Thamud, Salih ( peace be on him ) migrated to Sinai.
Hence, close to the Mount of Moses there is a hillock called Nabi Salih.
These traditions make one believe that it is here that Prophet Salih ( peace be on him ) lived.

( So, when Our commandment ) Our chastisement ( came to pass, We saved Salih, and those who believed with him, by a mercy from Us ) by Our grace, ( from the ignominy of that day ) from the chastisement of that day. ( Lo, thy Lord! He is the Strong ) He saves His allies, ( the Mighty ) in His retribution against His enemies.

So when Our Commandment came, We saved Salih (Saleh) and those who believed with him by a Mercy from Us, and from the disgrace of that Day. Verily, your Lord, He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.
