كَذَّبَتْ Denied ثَمُوْدُ Thamud الْمُرْسَلِیْنَۚۖ the Messengers اِذْ When قَالَ said لَهُمْ to them اَخُوْهُمْ their brother صٰلِحٌ Salih اَلَا Will not تَتَّقُوْنَۚ you fear (Allah) اِنِّیْ Indeed I am لَكُمْ to you رَسُوْلٌ a Messenger اَمِیْنٌۙ trustworthy فَاتَّقُوا So fear اللّٰهَ Allah وَ اَطِیْعُوْنِۚ and obey me وَ مَاۤ And not اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ I ask you عَلَیْهِ for it مِنْ any اَجْرٍ ۚ payment اِنْ Not اَجْرِیَ (is) my payment اِلَّا except عَلٰی from رَبِّ (the) Lord الْعٰلَمِیْنَؕ (of) the worlds اَتُتْرَكُوْنَ Will you be left فِیْ in مَا what هٰهُنَاۤ (is) here اٰمِنِیْنَۙ secure فِیْ In جَنّٰتٍ gardens وَّ عُیُوْنٍۙ and springs وَّ زُرُوْعٍ And cornfields وَّ نَخْلٍ and date-palms طَلْعُهَا its spadix هَضِیْمٌۚ soft وَ تَنْحِتُوْنَ And you carve مِنَ of الْجِبَالِ the mountains بُیُوْتًا houses فٰرِهِیْنَۚ skillfully فَاتَّقُوا So fear اللّٰهَ Allah وَ اَطِیْعُوْنِۚ and obey me وَ لَا And (do) not تُطِیْعُوْۤا obey اَمْرَ (the) command الْمُسْرِفِیْنَۙ (of) the transgressors الَّذِیْنَ Those who یُفْسِدُوْنَ spread corruption فِی in الْاَرْضِ the earth وَ لَا and (do) not یُصْلِحُوْنَ reform قَالُوْۤا They said اِنَّمَاۤ Only اَنْتَ you مِنَ (are) of الْمُسَحَّرِیْنَۚ those bewitched مَاۤ Not اَنْتَ you اِلَّا (are) except بَشَرٌ a man مِّثْلُنَا ۖۚ like us فَاْتِ so bring بِاٰیَةٍ a sign اِنْ if كُنْتَ you مِنَ (are) of الصّٰدِقِیْنَ the truthful قَالَ He said هٰذِهٖ This نَاقَةٌ (is) a she-camel لَّهَا For her شِرْبٌ (is a share of) drink وَّ لَكُمْ and for you شِرْبُ (is a share of) drink یَوْمٍ (on) a day مَّعْلُوْمٍۚ known وَ لَا And (do) not تَمَسُّوْهَا touch her بِسُوْٓءٍ with harm فَیَاْخُذَكُمْ lest seize you عَذَابُ (the) punishment یَوْمٍ (of) a Day عَظِیْمٍ Great فَعَقَرُوْهَا But they hamstrung her فَاَصْبَحُوْا then they became نٰدِمِیْنَۙ regretful فَاَخَذَهُمُ So seized them الْعَذَابُ ؕ the punishment اِنَّ Indeed فِیْ in ذٰلِكَ that لَاٰیَةً ؕ surely is a sign وَ مَا but not كَانَ are اَكْثَرُهُمْ most of them مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ believers وَ اِنَّ And indeed رَبَّكَ your Lord لَهُوَ surely He الْعَزِیْزُ (is) the All-Mighty الرَّحِیْمُ۠ the Most Merciful
(26:141) The (people of) Thamūd rejected the messengers
(26:142) when their brother SāliH said to them, “Do you not fear Allah
(26:143) I am an honest messenger for you
(26:144) So, fear Allah and obey me
(26:145) I do not claim from you any reward for it. My reward is with none but with the Lord of the worlds
(26:146) Will you be left secure in whatever is here
(26:147) in gardens and springs
(26:148) and in farms and date-palms, the spathes of which are interwoven
(26:149) You hew out houses from the hills with pride
(26:150) So fear Allah and obey me
(26:151) and do not obey the order of the transgressors
(26:152) who make mischief on the land and who do not set things right”
(26:153) They said, “You are merely one of those bewitched
(26:154) You are nothing but a human like us. So, bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.”
(26:155) He said, “This is a she-camel. She has a share of water, and you have a share of water on a specified day
(26:156) So do not touch her with evil (intent), lest you should be seized by a painful punishment.”
(26:157) But they killed her, then they became remorseful
(26:158) and the punishment seized them. Surely, in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers
(26:159) and indeed your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful
وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِ‌هِينَ ﴿149﴾And you hew out houses from the hills with pride. [ 149]
According to Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ ، the word فَارِ‌هِينَ (Farihin) means arrogant and conceited people. But Abu Salih and Imam Raghib have taken this word to mean experts. Therefore, the meaning of the verse is that Allah Ta' ala has favoured you by teaching such skills that you could make houses by cutting hills. The essence of all this is that you should remember the bounties of Allah Ta' ala and should not make mischief and trouble on earth.
Useful vocations are Divine Graces provided they are not employed in bad things
This verse indicates that nice vocations are Allah's Graces, and to draw benefit from them is lawful. But if they are used for some sinful purpose or in an unlawful act, or if someone gets involved in them with unnecessary concentration, then it is not lawful to adopt them. An example of unnecessary construction of tall buildings and its contempt has just been mentioned in the previous verses.
