* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَيٰقَوْمِ هَـٰذِهِ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ آيَةً فَذَرُوهَا تَأْكُلْ فِيۤ أَرْضِ ٱللَّهِ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوۤءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابٌ قَرِيبٌ }

And O my people this is the she-camel of God a sign for you āyatan is a circumstantial qualifier operated by the demonstrative noun hādhihi ‘this’. Leave her to eat in God’s earth and do not cause her any harm by hamstringing her lest you be seized by a near chastisement’ if you do hamstring her.
