Transliteration:( Fa tawalla 'anhum wa qaala yaa qawmi laqad ablaghtukum Risaalata Rabbee wa nasahtu lakum wa laakil laa tuhibboonan naasiheen )
192. After their destruction, Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace) with the believers first left the village and proceeded to the jungle. After the death of these believers, he proceeded to Makkah Muazzama. At the time of departure, when Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace) walked past these corpses he addressed them as appears in verse 79.
193. From this, we learn that corpses can hear because Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace) spoke to them after their death. In fact, these special pious servants after their demise can hear far and near things. Thus, every worshipper in Tashahud sends Salaam upon In terms of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم of Islamic law it is forbidden to greet one who I cannot hear the greeting e.g. one asleep or unconscious, etc. Likewise, it is forbidden to greet one who is incapable of returning the greeting e.g. one engrossed in Salaah or one in the toilet.

79. Then he ﴿Salih﴾ turned from them, and said: “O my people! I have indeed conveyed to you the Message of my Lord, and have given you good advice, but you like not good advisers.”) These are the words of admonishment that Salih conveyed to his people after Allah destroyed them for defying Him, rebelling against Him, refusing to accept the truth, avoiding guidance, and preferring misguidance instead. Salih said these words of admonishment and criticism to them after they perished, and they heard him (as a miracle for Prophet Salih from Allah). Similarly, it is recorded in the Two Sahihs that after the Messenger of Allah defeated the disbelievers in the battle of Badr, he remained in that area for three days, and then rode his camel, which was prepared for him during the latter part of the night. He went on until he stood by the well of Badr (where the corpses of the disbelievers were thrown) and said,
(O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O `Utbah bin Rabi`ah! O Shaybah bin Rabi`ah! Did you find what your Lord has promised you (of torment) to be true, for I found what my Lord promised me (of victory) to be true.) `Umar said to him, “O Allah’s Messenger! Why do you speak to a people who have rotted” He said,
(By He in Whose Hand is my soul! You do not hear what I am saying better than they, but they cannot reply.) Similarly, Prophet Salih, peace be upon him, said to his people,
(“I have indeed conveyed to you the Message of my Lord, and have given you good advice,”) but you did not benefit from it because you do not like the Truth and do not follow those who give you sincere advice,
(“but you like not good advisers.”)
(7:79) And Salih left them, saying: ‘O my people! I conveyed to you the message of my Lord and gave you good advice; but you have no liking for your well-wishers.’
