Prophet Muhammad said in a long hadith reported by Abu Dharr in the Sahih of Ibn Hibban that four Prophets were Arabs: Hud, Salih, Shu^ayb and Prophet Muhammad himself.
The lineage of Prophet Hud is as follows: He is Hud, the son of ^Abdullah, the son of Rabah, the son of al-Jalud, the son of ^Ad, the son of ^Aws, the son of Iram, the son of Sam, the son of Noah. Other lineages were cited as well.
In Suratul-A^raf, 65, God told us about sending a Prophet to the tribe of ^Ad. This Prophet told them, O my people worship God. No one is God but Him. Wont you be God-fearing? This Prophet is Prophet Hud. Let us tell some history leading up to the call of Prophet Hud.

The man Iram had a city named after him, built by Shaddad, the son of ^Ad. This city was between Hadramawt and San^a in Yemen. The tribe of ^Ad had thirteen branches. The people of the tribe of ^Ad were very tall and strong. The tallest among them was 100 cubits in height and the shortest was 60 cubits in height (~90 feet). Shaddad established himself as king of his people and he ruled unjustly, oppressing his people. Shaddad kept conquering other countries, until he was the dominant ruler at that time, with the other kings submitting to him.
Shaddad was fascinated with old books. Whenever he read about Paradise that the Prophets spoke of, he imagined that he could build such a Paradise here on Earth (which of course is not true).
Shaddad assembled a huge team of men to build what he claimed would be another Paradise. He first appointed one hundred men, each having one thousand assistants, to search the land of Yemen. They were to find a spot with the finest soil and freshest air. The spot they determined was the spot where Shaddad wanted to build his city.
