وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا هُودًا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَنَجَّيْنَـٰهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ
Walamm a j a a amrun a najjayn a hoodan wa a lla th eena a manoo maAAahu bira h matin minn a wanajjayn a hum min AAa tha bin ghalee th in
And so, when Our judgment came to pass,83 by Our grace We saved Hud and those who shared his faith; and We saved them [too] from suffering severe [in the life to come].84
  - Mohammad Asad

For the story of the destruction of the tribe of 'Ad through violent storm-winds, see 54:19 and, more particularly, {69:6-8}.

I.e., the suffering which was yet to befall the rest of the tribe of 'Ad. My addition, between brackets, of the words "in the life to come" is based on the interpretation advanced by Tabari, Zamakhshari and Razi, according to whom the first mention of the saving of Hud and his followers refers to the destruction of the people of 'Ad in this world, and the second, to the latters' chastisement in the hereafter.

When Our judgement came to pass, We saved Hud and those who believed with him through a special grace from Us - We did save them from a horrifying scourge.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
When Our command came, We rescued Hûd and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us, saving them from a harsh torment.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And when Our commandment came to pass We saved Hud and those who believed with him by a mercy from Us; We saved them from a harsh doom.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
So when Our decree issued We saved Hud and those who believed with him by (special) Grace from Ourselves: We saved them from a severe Penalty. 1554
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

A few just men might suffer for the iniquities of the many. But Allah's Plan is perfect and eventually saves His own people by special Grace, if they have Faith and Trust in Him.
