وَمَا مَنَعَنَآ أَن نُّرْسِلَ بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ إِلَّآ أَن كَذَّبَ بِهَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ۚ وَءَاتَيْنَا ثَمُودَ ٱلنَّاقَةَ مُبْصِرَةً فَظَلَمُوا۟ بِهَا ۚ وَمَا نُرْسِلُ بِٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ إِلَّا تَخْوِيفًا

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

(நம்முடைய அத்தாட்சிகளை எவர்களுக்கு) முந்தியவர்களும் பொய்ப்பித்ததைத் தவிர (வேறு எதுவும் இவர்கள் கோரும்) அத்தாட்சிகளை அனுப்ப நம்மைத் தடுக்கவில்லை (இதற்கு முன்) நாம் 'ஸமூது' கூட்டத்தாருக்கு ஒரு பெண் ஒட்டகத்தைக் கண்கூடான அத்தாட்சியாகக் கொடுத்திருந்தோம்; அவர்களோ (வரம்பு மீறி) அதற்கு அநியாயம் செய்தனர்; (மக்களை) அச்சமூட்டி எச்சரிப்பதற்காவே அன்றி நாம் (இத்தகைய) அத்தாட்சிகளை அனுப்புவதில்லை.

තවද සංඥාවන් පෙර සිටියවුන් බොරු කළ හෙයින් මිස ඒවා එවීම අපව වැළක්වූයේ නැත. තවද අපි සමූද් ජනයාට ඔටු දෙන පැහැදිලි සංඥාවක් ලෙස පිරිනැමුවෙමු. එවිට ඔවුහු ඌට අපරාධ කළෝ ය. තවද බිය ගැන්වීමට මිස අපි එම සංඥාවන් නො එවන්නෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
ہمیں نشانات (معجزات) کے نازل کرنے سے روک صرف اسی کی ہے کہ اگلے لوگ انہیں جھٹلا چکے ہیں ۔ ہم نے ﺛمودیوں کو بطور بصیرت کے اونٹنی دی لیکن انہوں نے اس پر ﻇلم کیا ہم تو لوگوں کو دھمکانے کے لئے ہی نشانیاں بھیجتے ہیں.

われが印を下すことを控えるのは,昔の民がそれを偽りであるとしたからに外ならない。われは以前サムードに,明らかな印の雌ラクダを授けたが,かれらはそれを迫害した。われが印を下すのは,只畏れの念を抱かせるために外ならない。

我不降示迹象,只为前人不承认它。我曾以母驼给赛莫德人做明证,但他们迫害(或虐待)它。我降迹象只是为了恫吓。

If you want us to believe in you, ask your Lord to turn As-Safa' into gold for us.' Allah conveyed to him by inspiration (Wahy): `I have heard what they have said. If you wish, I will do what they say, but if they do not believe after that, the punishment will come down upon them, because after the sign has been sent, there is no room for speculation. Or if you wish, I will be patient with your people and give them more time.' He said: «يَارَبِّ اسْتَأْنِ بِهِم» (O Lord, give them more time.)" This was also narrated by Qatadah, Ibn Jurayj and others. Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "The people of Makkah asked the Prophet to turn As-Safa' into gold for them, and to remove the mountains (from around Makkah) so that they could cultivate the land.…
