The apostle of Allah had told them, ‘This is Allah’s she-camel, let her drink!’

the Messenger of Allah said to them: '(This is) the shecamel of Allah, let her drink'

And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

The Messenger of God told them, "This is a she-camel, belonging to God. Do not deprive her of her share of water".

So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink.

Then the messenger of God said to them, "This is God's she-camel. Let her drink."

But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She-camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا

فَكَذَّبوهُ فَعَقَروها فَدَمدَمَ عَلَيهِم رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِم فَسَوّاها

In response they belied him, and hamstrung the she camel – so Allah put ruin over them because of their sins and flattened their dwellings.

But they cried him lies, and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled them:

But they gave him the lie, and cruelly slaughtered her - whereupon their Sustainer visited them with utter destruction for this their sin, destroying them all alike:

Then they belied him, and they hamstrung her; wherefore their Lord overwhelmed them for their crime, and made it equal.

Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, and made them equal in destruction (i.e. all grades of people, rich and poor, strong and weak, etc.)!

But they called him a liar, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled it.

But they rejected his statement as a lie and hamstrung the she-camel. For that crime their Lord rumbled down upon them, utterly razing them to the ground.

Then they denied him and they killed it. So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin, Fasawwaha!

But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).

But they impugned him and hamstrung her. So their Lord took them unawares by night because of their sin, and levelled it.

But they belied him, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin and leveled it (their village).

But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

However, they rejected him and slew her. So their Lord completely destroyed them and their city for their sins.

But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).

But they gave him the lie, and hamstrung the she-camel. So their Lord destroyed them for their crime and razed their city to the ground.

Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
