I suggest,
{54:23} [The people of] Thamood dismissed the warnings.Quote:
{54:28} And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn].
I think Pickthall's translation is best here. I suggest,
{54:28} And inform them that the water is shared between them, each drink will be witnessed.Quote:
{54:29} But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her].
I suggest,
{54:29} But they called their companion; he picked up [a sword] and hamstrung [her].Quote:
{54:31} Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.
"The sky" is not mentioned in the Arabic. I suggest,
{54:31} Verily, We sent upon them one shout and they became like a stableman's hay.
