قوله تعالى : ( وإلى عاد ) أي : وأرسلنا إلى عاد ، ( أخاهم هودا ) في النسب لا في الدين ، ( قال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ) وحدوا الله ( ما لكم من إله غيره إن أنتم إلا مفترون ) ما أنتم في إشراككم إلا كاذبون .
Allah sent to the people of ‘Ād their brother Hūd (peace be upon him). He told them to worship Allah alone, and not to associate anyone with Him. He told them that they had no real god other than Him, glory be to Him, and that they were not telling the truth in claiming that he had a partner.
