[I] call Allah to witness
To the Thamud people (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she-camel of Allah is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment.
"We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with imbecility." He said: "I call Allah to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing, to Him,
"And O my people! This she-camel of Allah is a symbol to you: leave her to feed on Allah's (free) earth, and inflict no harm on her, or a swift penalty will seize you!"
"Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."
(我确已派遣)赛莫德人的弟兄撒立哈去教化他们,他说:“我的宗族啊!你们要崇拜真主,除他之外,绝无应受你们崇拜的。从你们的主发出的明证确已降临你们,这只真主的母驼可以作你们的迹象。故你们让它在真主的大地上随便吃草,不要伤害它,否则,痛苦的刑罚必袭击你们。”
我们只想说,我们的一部分神灵使你发狂。”他说:“我求真主作证,你们也应当作证,我对于你们所用以配真主的(偶像)确是无干的。
我的宗族啊!这是真主的母驼,可以做你们的迹象,所以你们应当让它在真主的大地上吃草,不要伤害它,否则,临近的惩罚将袭击你们。”
你们不可伤害它,否则,将遭受重大日的惩罚。”
