والى ثمود اخاهم صالحا قال يا قوم اعبدوا الله ما لكم من اله غيره قد جاءتكم بينة من ربكم هذه ناقة الله لكم اية فذروها تاكل في ارض الله ولا تمسوها بسوء فياخذكم عذاب اليم

To the Thamūd people (We sent) Ṣaliḥ, one Of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! Worship God; ye have No other god but Him. Now hath come unto you A clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she-camel of God Is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze In God's earth, and let her Come to no harm, Or ye shall be seized With a grievous punishment.
