The Holy Quran 11:66 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا صَـٰلِحًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَمِنْ خِزْىِ يَوْمِئِذٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْقَوِىُّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ

Translation

When Our order (punishment) came, We saved Saalih عليه الصلاة والسلام and those who had Imaan with him by Our mercy and (We also saved them) from the humiliation of that day (because being the victim of Allaah's punishment is humiliating). Indeed your Rabb is Powerful, the Mighty.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, when the command of punishment came, We saved Salih ﵇ and his companions. And from what did We save them? From the disgrace of that day. [The words] وَمِنْ خِزْیِ یَوْمِئِذٍ “and from the disgrace of that day” are the explanation and specification of نَجَّیْنَا “We saved”. That is, He destroys whom He wills and saves whom He wills.
