Q 11:61

۞ وَإِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَـٰلِحًا ۚ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٱسْتَغْفِرُوهُ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ

Translations

And to Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive."

Sahih International · EN

Et (Nous avons envoyé) aux Thamûd, leur frère Sâlih qui dit: «O mon peuple, adorez Allah. Vous n'avez point de divinité en dehors de Lui. De la terre Il vous a créés, et Il vous l'a fait peupler (et exploiter). Implorez donc Son pardon, puis repentez-vous à Lui. Mon Seigneur est bien proche et Il répond toujours (aux appels)».

Tafsir

Allah sent to the people of Thamūd their brother Ṣāliḥ. He told his people to worship Allah alone, and that they had no god worthy of worship other than Him. He created them from the clay of the earth when He created their father Adam from it, and made them settle in it. He told them to ask for forgiveness from Him, and that his Lord was Near to those who devoted themselves to worshipping Him, responding to their prayers.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))

And to Thamud (people We sent) their brother Salih. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: you have no other god but Him. He brought you forth from the earth and settled you therein, then ask forgiveness of Him and turn to Him in repentance. Certainly, my Lord is Near (to all by His knowledge), Responsive. (61) The Story of Salih and the People of Thamud Allah, the Exalted, says, وَ (And) This is an introduction to that which is implied, "Verily, We sent." إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ (to Thamud) They were a group of people who were living in cities carved from the rocks, between Tabuk and Al-Madinah (in Arabia). They lived after the people of 'Ad, so Allah sent to them, أَخَاهُمْ صَالِحًا (their brother Salih.) He (Salih) commanded them to worship Allah alone. He said to them, هُوَ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ (He brought you forth from the earth) This means: 'He began your creation from it (the earth). From it He created your father, Adam.' وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ فِيهَا (and settled you therein,) This means: 'He made you prosperous in the earth. You are settled in it and you treasure it.' فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ (then ask forgiveness) 'This is in reference to your previous sins.' ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ (and turn to Him in repentance.) 'This is in reference to the future.' إِنَّ رَبِّي قَرِيبٌ مُّجِيبٌ (Certainly, my Lord is Near (to all by His knowledge), Responsive.) This is similar to Allah's statement, وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ (And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed Near (to them by My knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me.)[2:186]
