Surat Al-Qamar - سورة القمر

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ

: Thamud (people also) belied the warnings.

فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرًا مِّنَّا وَاحِدًا نَّتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّفِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ

: For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!"

أَأُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِن بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ

: "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh) ] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"

سَيَعْلَمُونَ غَدًا مَّنِ الْكَذَّابُ الْأَشِرُ

: Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one!

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُو النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ

: Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh) ], and be patient!

وَنَبِّئْهُمْ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ قِسْمَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ كُلُّ شِرْبٍ مُّحْتَضَرٌ

: And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns).

فَنَادَوْا صَاحِبَهُمْ فَتَعَاطَىٰ فَعَقَرَ

: But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her).
