Allah then says,

﴿ظپظژظ‚ظژط§ظ„ظژ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط±ظژط³ظڈظˆظ„ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ﴾

(But the Messenger of Allah said to them) referring to Salih.

﴿ظ†ظژط§ظ‚ظژط©ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ﴾

(That is the she-camel of Allah!) meaning, `beware of touching the she-camel of Allah with any harm.'

﴿ظˆظژط³ظڈظ‚ظ’ظٹظژظ€ظ‡ظژط§﴾

(and its drink!) meaning, `do not transgress against her in her drinking, for she has been allocated a day to drink and you have been allocated a day to drink, as is known to you.' Then Allah says,

﴿ظپظژظƒظژط°ظ‘ظژط¨ظڈظˆظ‡ظڈ ظپظژط¹ظژظ‚ظژط±ظڈظˆظ‡ظژط§﴾

(Then they denied him and they killed it.) which means they rejected what he came with. This resulted in them killing the she-camel that Allah had brought out of the rock as a sign for them and a proof against them.

﴿ظپظژط¯ظژظ…ظ’ط¯ظ…ظژ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ط±ظژط¨ظ‘ظڈظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¨ظگط°ظژظ†ط¨ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’﴾

(So their Lord destroyed them because of their sin,) meaning, He became angry with them and He annihilated them.

﴿ظپظژط³ظژظˆظ‘ظژط§ظ‡ظژط§﴾

(Fasawwaha!) meaning, He made the punishment descend upon them all equally. Qatadah said, "It has reached us that the leader of tribe of Thamud did not kill the she-camel until their youth, their elderly, their males and their females all pledged allegiance to him. So when the people cooperated in killing her, Allah destroyed them all with the same punishment due to their sin.'' Allah said,

﴿ظˆظژظ„ط§ظژ ظٹظژط®ظژط§ظپظڈ﴾

(And He feared not) it has also been recited as (ظپظژظ„ظژط§ ظٹظژط®ظژط§ظپظڈ) (So He feared not)

﴿ط¹ظڈظ‚ظ’ط¨ظژظ€ظ‡ظژط§﴾

(the consequences thereof.) Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah does not fear any consequences from anyone else.'' Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Bakr bin `Abdullah Al-Muzani and others all said the same. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Ash-Shams, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
