Y: Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order
of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a
messenger (of Allah)!"
P: So they hamstrung the she-camel, and they flouted the commandment of
their Lord, and they said: O Salih! Bring upon us that thou threatenest
if thou art indeed of those sent (from Allah).
S: So they slew the she-camel and revolted against their Lord's
commandment, and they said: O Salih! bring us what you threatened us
with, if you are one of the messengers.

Y: So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their
homes in the morning!
P: So the earthquake seized them, and morning found them prostrate in
their dwelling-place.

in their abode.
007.079
Y: So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you
the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel,
but ye love not good counsellors!"
P: And (Salih) turned from them and said: O my people! I delivered my
Lord's message unto you and gave you good advice, but ye love not good
advisers.
S: Then he turned away from them and said: O my people I did certainly
deliver to you the message of my Lord, and I gave you good advice, but
you do not love those who give good advice.

Y: We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness
such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?"
P: And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit
abomination such as no creature ever did before you?
S: And (We sent) Lut when he said to his people: What! do you commit an
indecency which any one in the world has not done before you?
007.081
Y: "For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are
indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."
P: Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are
wanton folk.

extravagant people.

Y: And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of
your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"
P: And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to
another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who
keep pure.
S: And the answer of his people was no other than that they said: Turn
them out of your town, surely they are a people who seek to purify
(themselves).
007.083

who legged behind.
P: And We rescued him and his household, save his wife, who was of those
who stayed behind.

those who remained behind.
007.084

the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!
P: And We rained a rain upon them. See now the nature of the consequence
of evil-doers!
