A prophet of God who appeared before Abraham to the people of ‘Ad. He is said to have been a fourth-generation descendant of Noah. He ‘proclaimed to his people that God had chosen him as a prophet, and preached to them the one true God and the destruction of their idols. But they rejected him, and only a few became his followers.'33 A calamity took place in which all perished except Húd and his followers.
