Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

— Saheeh International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

— Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

— Saheeh International

Do you construct on every elevation a sign,1 amusing yourselves,

— Saheeh International

And take for yourselves constructions [i.e., palaces and fortresses] that you might abide eternally?

— Saheeh International

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

— Saheeh International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

— Saheeh International

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

— Saheeh International

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

— Saheeh International

And gardens and springs.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

— Saheeh International

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

And we are not to be punished."

— Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

— Saheeh International

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

— Saheeh International

Will you be left in what is here, secure [from death],

— Saheeh International

Within gardens and springs

— Saheeh International

And fields of crops and palm trees with softened fruit?

— Saheeh International

And you carve out of the mountains, homes, with skill.

— Saheeh International

So fear Allāh and obey me.

— Saheeh International

And do not obey the order of the transgressors,

— Saheeh International

Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."

— Saheeh International

They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

— Saheeh International

You are but a man like ourselves, so bring a sign, if you should be of the truthful."

He said, "This is a she-camel.1 For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

— Saheeh International

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
