By the Soul, and the proportion andorder given to it;
And its enlightenment as to its wrongand its right;
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
And he fails that corrupts it!
The Thamud (people) rejected (theirprophet) through their inordinate wrong-doing,
Behold, the most wicked man among themwas deputed (for impiety).
But the Messenger of Allah said to them:”It is a She-camel of Allah. And (bar her not from) having her drink!”
Then they rejected him (as a falseprophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime,obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
