This conversation is similar to the previous conversation, between Prophet Nuh and his rebellion people. Prophet Hud said clearly to Aad their brother to
profes s Allah’s divine Oneness. However, the chieftains of his people, who were
disbelieving, refused it and said that Prophet Nuh is in foolishness, ignorance, and the liars in what he said. The way of the people of Prophet Nuh expresses their
intended meaning is directly, whenever there is relationship between structure of sentence and its function, which declarative refers to statement. Moreover,
regarding the contribution of Cooperative Principle, the chieftain of his people remarks is lack adequate in his judgment, so that he floats the maxim of Quality.
In the next verse 67-69, Prophet Hud answer clearly, relevance and sincerity of the judgment of his people that there is no foolishness ignorance in him, but he
is a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds, so that he has duty to explain His commands and prohibitions. He is a true adviser through warning them of Allah’s
torment and calling them to repentance and faith. He is trustworthy in conveying the message of Allah. Based on his utterances, the way of Prophet Hud expressed
his intention is directly, whenever there is relationship between structure of sentence and its function, which declarative refers to statement. However, the way
he implied the verse 69 is indirectly, because there is no relationship between structure of sentence and its function, which the sentence is interrogative and
refers to the function of statement, instead of question. Moreover, regarding the contribution of Cooperative Principle, his answered follows the four maxims,
because as st ated previously that he is, God’s Messengers, trustworthy in
conveying the message of Allah.

In the next is verse 70, his people replied Prophet Hud’s words. They against him and speak quite unnecessary because they want to see the threatening of
torment from God, as proof if he said truthfully. Therefore, he floats the maxim of quantity.
In the verse 71, Prophet Hud answered his people’s statements. He said that Allah would send down a disaster to proof what he brought is true. As admonition
to them and as proof their truthfully, he said to his people that whether their gods is capable send down the disaster or not, and in the fact, his people cannot whether
answer or proof it. Based on his utterances, the way of Prophet Hud expressed his intended meaning is indirectly, whenever there is no relationship between
structure of sentence and its function, which the sentence is imperative and refers to the function of question, instead of command or request. Moreover, regarding
the contribution of Cooperative Principle, what Prophet Hud said is deliberately relevant to the question of his people, so that he follow the maxims of relevance.
In addition, he speaks sincerity, because he knows the fact that their gods cannot do anything, because they just statues, and he is sure that his people are blind
people, whom far from the truth. Thus, in this part, Prophet Hud tried to cooperatively when constructing the communication, so that he observes the
maxims of relevance and quality. In addition, as in the Prophet Nuh’s story, in the end, Allah narrated a respond
through sending them a disaster. Moreover, it also clearly proved that what brought by Prophet Hud is true and Allah’s respond is relate to the proclaimed of
prophet Hud’s people.
