(91:11) In their presumptuous insolence the Thamud called the Truth a lie (91:12) when their arch-criminal rose up in rage. (91:13) Then Allah's Messenger warned them: “Hands off the she-camel and her drink!” (91:14) 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. (91:15) He has no fear of its sequel.
