Then, when the followers of Salih (peace be upon him) increased a bit more, the chiefs became somewhat concerned and their tone changed. They said, "You are just a man like us; what extra quality do you possess that we should accept you as Allah's Messenger? Yes, if you are really truthful in your claim, then present a sign."
