Hud ؑ Replies to His People: Do Whatever Harm You Can:

In response to their accusation, Hud ؑ replied that he did not at all believe in such miracles of their deities; rather, he considered it shirk with Allah and declared his disassociation from all forms of shirk. However, if they thought that their deities could harm him, then they should all, along with their deities, inflict whatever harm they wished upon him, and not delay in doing so. As for him, he was certain that if Allah did not will harm for him, then no power could harm him.
