وَيَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٗۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأۡكُلۡ فِيٓ أَرۡضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٞ قَرِيبٞ ٦٤
And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."

Commentary on 11:64
قوله تعالى: {آيَةً} : نصب على الحال بمعنى علامة، والناصب لها: إمَّا ها التنبيه أو اسمُ الإِشارة؛ لِما تضمَّناه من معنى الفعل، أو فعلٍ محذوف.
قوله: {لَكُمْ} في محلِّ نصبٍ على الحال من «آيةٍ» ؛ لأنه لو تأخَّر لكان نعتاً لها، فلما قُدِّم انتصبَ حالاً. قال الزمخشري: «فإن قلت بم تتعلَّقُ» لكم «؟ قلت:» بآية «حالاً منها متقدمة، لأنها لو تأخَّرَتْ لكانت صفة لها، فلما تقدَّمت انتصبت على الحال» . قال الشيخ: «وهذا متناقض لأنه من حيث تعلَّق» لكم «ب» آية «كان معمولاً ل» آية «، وإذا كان معمولاً لها امتنع أن يكون حالاً منها، لأنَّ الحال تتعلَّق بمحذوف» . قلت: ومثل هذا كيف يُعترض به على مِثْل الزمخشري بعد إيضاحه المعنى المقصودَ بأنه التعلُّقُ المعنويُّ؟
وقرأت فرقة: «تأكلُ» بالرفع: إمَّا على الاستئناف، وإمَّا على الحال.

11:63
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَءَاتَىٰنِي مِنۡهُ رَحۡمَةٗ فَمَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ عَصَيۡتُهُۥۖ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِي غَيۡرَ تَخۡسِيرٖ ٦٣
He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allāh if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.
11:64
وَيَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٗۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأۡكُلۡ فِيٓ أَرۡضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٞ قَرِيبٞ ٦٤
And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."
11:65
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُواْ فِي دَارِكُمۡ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ وَعۡدٌ غَيۡرُ مَكۡذُوبٖ ٦٥
But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied [i.e., unfailing]."
11:66
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا صَٰلِحٗا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَمِنۡ خِزۡيِ يَوۡمِئِذٍۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٦٦
So when Our command came, We saved Ṣāliḥ and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day.1 Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.
