إِنّا مُرسِلُو النّاقَةِ فِتنَةً لَهُم فَارتَقِبهُم وَاصطَبِر

Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient.

وَنَبِّئهُم أَنَّ الماءَ قِسمَةٌ بَينَهُم ۖ كُلُّ شِربٍ مُحتَضَرٌ

And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].

فَنادَوا صاحِبَهُم فَتَعاطىٰ فَعَقَرَ

But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].

فَكَيفَ كانَ عَذابي وَنُذُرِ

And how [severe] were My punishment and warning.

إِنّا أَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم صَيحَةً واحِدَةً فَكانوا كَهَشيمِ المُحتَظِرِ

Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

كَذَّبَت قَومُ لوطٍ بِالنُّذُرِ

The people of Lot denied the warning.

إِنّا أَرسَلنا عَلَيهِم حاصِبًا إِلّا آلَ لوطٍ ۖ نَجَّيناهُم بِسَحَرٍ

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

نِعمَةً مِن عِندِنا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَجزي مَن شَكَرَ

As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful.

وَلَقَد أَنذَرَهُم بَطشَتَنا فَتَمارَوا بِالنُّذُرِ

وَلَقَد راوَدوهُ عَن ضَيفِهِ فَطَمَسنا أَعيُنَهُم فَذوقوا عَذابي وَنُذُرِ

And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning."
