وَتَنۡحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا فَٰرِهِينَ
You hew out houses from the hills with pride.
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So fear Allah and obey me,
وَلَا تُطِيعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
and do not obey the order of the transgressors
ٱلَّذِينَ يُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا يُصۡلِحُونَ
who make mischief on the land and who do not set things right”.
قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَحَّرِينَ
They said, “You are merely one of those bewitched.
مَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُنَا فَأۡتِ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
You are nothing but a human like us. So, bring a sign if you are one of the truthful.”
قَالَ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةٞ لَّهَا شِرۡبٞ وَلَكُمۡ شِرۡبُ يَوۡمٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ
He said, “This is a she-camel. She has a share of water, and you have a share of water on a specified day.
وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ
So do not touch her with evil (intent), lest you should be seized by a painful punishment.”
