He said

O my people

Do you see

if

I am

on

a clear proof

from

my Lord

and He has given me

from Him

a Mercy

then who

(can) help me

against

Allah

if

I (were to) disobey Him

So not

you would increase me

but

(in) loss

And O my people

This

she-camel

(of) Allah

(is) for you

a Sign

so leave her

to eat

in

the earth

(of) Allah

and (do) not

touch her

with harm

lest will seize you

a punishment

impending

But they hamstrung her

So he said

Enjoy (yourselves)

in

your home(s)

(for) three

days

That

(is) a promise

not

(to) be belied

So when

came

Our command

We saved

Salih

and those who

believed

with him

by a Mercy

from Us

and from

(the) disgrace

(of) that Day

Indeed

your Lord

He

(is) All-Strong

All-Mighty

And seized

those who

wronged

the thunderous blast

then they became

in

their homes

fallen prone

As if

not

they (had) prospered

therein

No doubt

indeed

Thamud

disbelieved

(in) their Lord

so

away

with Thamud

And certainly

came

Our messengers

(to) Ibrahim

with glad tidings

they said

Peace

He said

Peace

and not he delayed

and not he delayed

to

bring

a calf

roasted

But when

he saw

their hands

not

reaching

to it

he felt unfamiliar of them

and felt apprehension

from them

[a fear]

They said

(Do) not

fear

Indeed, we

[we] have been sent

to

(the) people

(of) Lut

And his wife

(was) standing

and she laughed

Then We gave her glad tidings

of Isaac

and after

and after

Isaac

(of) Yaqub
