📖 Commentary of Verse 43 (Surah Hud)

43. And Thamud too, when it was said to them: "Enjoy yourselves for a while [49]."

[48] The People of Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace)

  • The people of Thamud were extremely rebellious and defied the warning of Prophet Saleh (Peace be upon him).

  • The stories of such rebellious people serve as a lesson to strengthen faith in the hearts of the readers, just as stories of the pious can inspire and strengthen one's own belief.

[49] The Warning and the End of Thamud

  • After the Thamudites cruelly slaughtered the she-camel, Prophet Saleh (Peace be upon him) informed them that they would only live for three more days — Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday — before they would be destroyed on Saturday.

  • This demonstrates that the pious servants of Allah are fully aware of the precise time, place, and nature of the punishment for the disobedient.

(51:43) There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.”[40]

Ala-Maududi

(51:43) There is also a Sign for you in (the story of) Thamud. They were told: “Enjoy yourselves for a while.”[40]


40. The commentators have disputed as to which respite it implies. Qatadah says that it alludes to that verse of Surah Houd in which it has been stated that when the Thamud killed the she camel of the Prophet Salih (peace be upon him), they were warned by Allah that they had three more days to enjoy life after which they would be overtaken by the torment. Contrary to this, Hasan Basri has expressed the opinion that this thing had been said by the Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) to his people in the beginning of his mission and by this he meant that if they would not adopt the way of repentance and faith, they would be granted a respite to enjoy life in the world only till an appointed time, and then they would be overtaken by the torment. The second of these two commentaries seems to be more correct, for the following verse (But they defied the command of their Lord) indicates that the respite being mentioned here had been given before the defiance and they committed it after the warning. On the contrary, the three days respite mentioned in Surah Houd had been given after the wicked people had committed the final defiance which became decisive in their case and sealed their doom forever afterwards.

(43) And in Thamūd, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."
