Hud and the believers saved

Allah saves Hud and those who believed with him by His mercy. Tradition says Hud spent his last days in Hadramawt, where a shrine bears his name.

And when Our command came, We saved Hud and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us; and We saved them from a harsh punishment.
