Hud 11:64

Word by word

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ هَـٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ ءَايَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِىٓ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيبٌ

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."

ويا قوم هذه ناقة الله جعلها لكم حجة وعلامة تدلُّ على صدقي فيما أدعوكم إليه، فاتركوها تأكل في أرض الله فليس عليكم رزقها، ولا تمسُّوها بعَقْر، فإنكم إن فعلتم ذلك يأخذكم من الله عذاب قريب من عَقْرها.
