(Ash-Shams )
[91:1]
By the sun and her morning light, 
[91:2]
and [by] the moon when it follows her, rising after she has set, 
[91:3]
and [by] the day when it reveals her, as it rises [high], 
[91:4]
and [by] the night when it enshrouds her, covering her up with its darkness (idh
ā
, ‘when’, in all three 
instances is an absolute adverbial, operated by the verbal action of the oath). 
[91:5]
By the heaven and the One Who built it, 
[91:6]
and [by] the earth and the One Who spread it, laid out flat. 
[91:7]
and [by] the soul, that is to say, [by] all souls, and the One Who proportioned it, in its created form (m
ā
in 
all three instances relates to the verbal action, or functions as man, ‘the one who’), 
[91:8]
and inspired to discern its vices and piety, He pointed out to it the path of good and that of evil (the placing 
of taqw
ā
, ‘piety’, second takes into account the [rhyme] endings of the verses; the response to the oath is 
[the following:]) 
[91:9]
Successful indeed (qad: the l
ā
m [of laqad, ‘indeed’] has been omitted from it for the sake of brevity) will be 
the one who purifies it, purges it of sins, 
[91:10]
and he will indeed have failed he who eclipses it, he who obscures it with [acts of] disobedience (dass
ā
h
ā
is 
actually dassasah
ā
, but the second s
ī
n has been replaced with an alif for [phonetic] ease).

Tham
ū
d denied, their messenger S
ā
lih, because of their rebellious nature, 
[91:12]
when the most wretched of them, whose name was Qud
ā
r, was dispatched, [when] he hastened, in order to 
hamstring the she-camel with their approval.
[91:13]
But then the messenger of God, S
ā
lih, said to them, ‘[This is] the she-camel of God, so let her have her 
drink!’, her drink on her day — one day was hers, the next theirs. 
[91:14]
But they denied him, with regard to his saying this [as being a command] from God — which if they 
contravened would immediately result in chastisement being sent down on them — then hamstrung her, 
they slew it in order to appropriate her [share of the] drinking water. So their Lord closed in on them, the 
chastisement, because of their sin, and meted it equally [among them], that is, the closing in on them, in 
other words, He subsumed them all by it, so that not one of them escaped. 
[91:15]
And He does not (read wa-l
ā
, or fa-l
ā
) fear the consequence of it.
