وما منعنا ان نرسل بالايات الا ان كذب بها الاولون واتينا ثمود الناقة مبصرة فظلموا بها وما نرسل بالايات الا تخويفا

And We refrain from sending The Signs, only because The men of former generations Treated them as false: We sent the She-camel To the Thamūd to open Their eyes, but they Treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs By way of terror (And warning from evil).
