كَذَّبَتْ Denied ثَمُوْدُ Thamud بِالنُّذُرِ the warnings فَقَالُوْۤا And said اَبَشَرًا Is (it) a human being مِّنَّا among us وَاحِدًا one نَّتَّبِعُهٗۤ ۙ (that) we should follow him اِنَّاۤ Indeed we اِذًا then لَّفِیْ (will be) surely in ضَلٰلٍ error وَّ سُعُرٍ and madness ءَاُلْقِیَ Has been sent الذِّكْرُ the Reminder عَلَیْهِ to him مِنْۢ from بَیْنِنَا among us بَلْ Nay هُوَ he كَذَّابٌ (is) a liar اَشِرٌ insolent سَیَعْلَمُوْنَ They will know غَدًا tomorrow مَّنِ who الْكَذَّابُ (is) the liar الْاَشِرُ the insolent one اِنَّا Indeed We مُرْسِلُوا (are) sending النَّاقَةِ the she-camel فِتْنَةً (as) a trial لَّهُمْ for them فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ so watch them وَ اصْطَبِرْؗ and be patient 54. Al-Qamar Page 530 وَ نَبِّئْهُمْ And inform them اَنَّ that الْمَآءَ the water قِسْمَةٌۢ (is) to be shared بَیْنَهُمْ ۚ between them كُلُّ each شِرْبٍ drink مُّحْتَضَرٌ attended فَنَادَوْا But they called صَاحِبَهُمْ their companion فَتَعَاطٰی and he took فَعَقَرَ and hamstrung فَكَیْفَ So how كَانَ was عَذَابِیْ My punishment وَ نُذُرِ and My warnings اِنَّاۤ Indeed We اَرْسَلْنَا [We] sent عَلَیْهِمْ upon them صَیْحَةً thunderous blast وَّاحِدَةً single فَكَانُوْا and they became كَهَشِیْمِ like dry twig fragments الْمُحْتَظِرِ (used by) a fence builder وَ لَقَدْ And certainly یَسَّرْنَا We have made easy الْقُرْاٰنَ the Quran لِلذِّكْرِ for remembrance فَهَلْ so is (there) مِنْ any مُّدَّكِرٍ who will receive admonition كَذَّبَتْ Denied قَوْمُ (the) people لُوْطٍۭ (of) Lut بِالنُّذُرِ the warnings اِنَّاۤ Indeed We اَرْسَلْنَا [We] sent عَلَیْهِمْ upon them حَاصِبًا a storm of stones اِلَّاۤ except اٰلَ (the) family لُوْطٍ ؕ (of) Lut نَجَّیْنٰهُمْ We saved them بِسَحَرٍۙ by dawn نِّعْمَةً (As) a favor مِّنْ from عِنْدِنَا ؕ Us كَذٰلِكَ Thus نَجْزِیْ We reward مَنْ (one) who شَكَرَ (is) grateful وَ لَقَدْ And certainly اَنْذَرَهُمْ he warned them بَطْشَتَنَا (of) Our seizure فَتَمَارَوْا but they disputed بِالنُّذُرِ the warnings وَ لَقَدْ And certainly رَاوَدُوْهُ they demanded from him عَنْ they demanded from him ضَیْفِهٖ his guests فَطَمَسْنَاۤ so We blinded اَعْیُنَهُمْ their eyes فَذُوْقُوْا So taste عَذَابِیْ My punishment وَ نُذُرِ and My warnings وَ لَقَدْ And certainly صَبَّحَهُمْ seized them in the morning بُكْرَةً early عَذَابٌ a punishment مُّسْتَقِرٌّۚ abiding فَذُوْقُوْا So taste عَذَابِیْ My punishment وَ نُذُرِ and My warnings وَ لَقَدْ And certainly یَسَّرْنَا We have made easy الْقُرْاٰنَ the Quran لِلذِّكْرِ for remembrance فَهَلْ so is (there) مِنْ any مُّدَّكِرٍ۠ who will receive admonition
(54:23) Thamud denied the warnings.
(54:24) Saying, ‘Shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? In that case we should be in an error, and hardships.18
(54:25) Has the admonition been sent down upon him alone out of us all? Rather, he is a big liar, most impudent.’
(54:26) Tomorrow they shall surely know who is the big liar, most impudent.
(54:27) We are sending a she-camel as trial for them; so watch them and remain patient.
(54:28) And inform them that the water is to be shared between them. Each drink will be attended.19
(54:29) But they called their companion.20 He took in hand21 and hamstrung (her).
(54:30) So, how was My chastisement and My warnings?
(54:31) We sent upon them a single Cry, and they became like stubble of a pen-owner.22
(54:32) Indeed, We have made the Qur’an easy for admonition. So is there anyone to receive admonition?
(54:33) Lut’s folks denied the warnings.
(54:34) We sent against them a storm of stones – except for Lut’s household; We delivered them by the morning.
(54:35) A favor from Us. That is how We reward him who gives thanks.
(54:36) He had already warned them of Our assault. But they disputed the warnings.
(54:37) They even sought his guests from him. So We blinded their eyes.23 Taste then, My chastisement and My warnings.
(54:38) A pervasive chastisement visited them by early morning.
(54:39) So, taste My chastisement and My warnings.
(54:40) Indeed, We have made the Qur’an easy for admonition. So is there anyone to receive admonition?
18. This was roughly the understanding of “su`ur” by Qatadadh as in Ibn Jarir.
“Su`ur” (pl. of “sa`ir”) is for fires. So, one opinion is that Salih used to threaten them with the fire, so they used the word to return it in kind, meaning, if they followed him, then, far from receiving guidance, they will run into misguidance, and, in consequence land into the very fire he was promising. “Insanity” is another meaning assigned to the word (Alusi).
19. The main well of the town was divided between them: a day for the she-camel to drink, (when it emptied it), and another day for the people to draw from (Ibn Jarir).
The camel itself had emerged pregnant, miraculously from a rock. For other details see Surah al-Shams, note 10 and 11, as well as Surah al-A`raf note 110 & 114; Hud, note 73; and Shu`ara, 119.
20. That was a mischievous group – altogether nine. They had earlier threatened that they would kill Saleh if he did not give up preaching. They appointed a comrade of theirs who hamstrung the camel (Ibn Jarir).
21. “He undertook (to hamstrung)” could be another possible rendering (Au.).
It could also be said that he exchanged wine cups, got drunk and then hamstrung her (Sayyid). The word, “ta`ata” (roughly: exchanged), offers some support for this meaning, although no such report has come down to us from the scholars of the past (Au.).
22. Another, out of several possible meanings of the word “muhtadir”, as thought by Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah, is “burnt out.” Yet another legitimate opinion is that “hashim” refers to the materials left after use, while “muhtadir” refers to the maker of animal pens” (Ibn Jarir, Qurtubi).
23. Informed by Lut’s wife of the arrival of guests unmatched by anyone in beauty, the leading rogues of the town rushed to Lut’s house demanding that they be handed over to them. They would almost break open the door to his house when Jibril emerged and with a single stroke of his wing blinded the pack. They fumbled about in the lanes, retreating and threatening Lut until struck by the chastisement meant for all (Ibn Jarir, Ibn Kathir).
