quote: ''
summary: 'The passage recounts several communities rejecting their apostles: the
Adites and Houd, the Themoudites and Saleh with the she-camel sign, the people
of Lot, and the dwellers in the forest of Madian with Shoaib. Each episode includes
admonition, rejection, and divine punishment, followed by a repeated statement
that the event was a sign and that the Lord is mighty or powerful and merciful.
The passage then affirms the Book''s descent from the Lord through the faithful
spirit in clear Arabic, denies that Satans brought it down, instructs the prophet
to warn his kin and trust God, and contrasts satanic descent upon liars with poets
followed by the erring.'

it does not infer historical relation beyond the passage.
- id: motif:2
label: Sign given before judgment
taxonomy_refs:

basis: The she-camel is presented after the Themoudites demand a sign; harming her
precedes punishment, and the passage repeatedly labels punishments as signs.

a requested sign in this line range.

the remaining people are destroyed by rain.

about the family members.

heart in clear Arabic speech.

is used only as a broad supported category for revealed instruction.

lying wicked persons and poets followed by the erring.

cautions: The dual contrast is explicit, but the taxonomy references are broad rather
than exact.
