Qur'an 29:36

وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَارْجُوا الْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ٣٦

And unto Midian We sent Shu'eyb, their brother. He said: O my people! Serve Allah, and look forward to the Last Day, and do not evil, making mischief, in the earth.

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 29:36

Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.

أي { و } أرسلنا { إِلَى مَدْيَنَ } القبيلة المعروفة المشهورة { شُعَيْبًا } فأمرهم بعبادة اللّه وحده لا شريك له، والإيمان بالبعث ورجائه، والعمل له، ونهاهم عن الإفساد في الأرض، ببخس المكاييل والموازين، والسعي بقطع الطرق.
