[قَالَ يقَوْمِ
أَرَهْطِى أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ]
(He said: "O my people! Is then my family of more weight with you than
Allah'')( He says: You would leave me alone out of respect for my people but not
out of respect for the greatness of the Lord, the Most Blessed and Exalted Does
not your awe of Allah prevent you from harming His Prophet Indeed you have
placed the fear of Allah,
[وَرَآءَكُمْ
ظِهْرِيّاً]
(behind your backs.) This means that you have thrown it behind you. You do
not obey it, nor do you respect it.
[إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ]
(Verily, my Lord is surrounding all that you do.) This means that He knows
all of your actions and He will reward you according to them.
[وَيقَوْمِ
اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّى عَـمِلٌ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ
عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَارْتَقِبُواْ إِنِّى مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌ -
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْبًا وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ
بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ الصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُواْ فِى
دِيَـرِهِمْ جَـثِمِينَ - كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَآ أَلاَ بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ
كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ ]
(93. "And O my people! Act according to your ability, and I am acting. You
will come to know who it is on whom descends the torment that will cover him
with ignominy, and who is a liar! And watch you! Verily, I too am watching with
you.'') (94. And when Our commandment came, We saved Shu`ayb and those who
believed with him by a mercy from Us. And As-Sayhah (awful cry) seized the
wrongdoers, and they lay (Jathimin) in their homes.) (95. As if they had never
lived there! So away with Madyan just as Thamud went away!)
