Surah 91. Ash-Shams, Ayah 14

For this rendering of 'aqaruha, see note [61] on 7:77 .

 It is true that while Qudâr ibn Sâlif was the individual who killed the camel, the rest of the people were supportive of what he did, so they were all punished collectively.

The man who was deputed to do the impious deed of hamstringing the she-camel had of course the sympathy and cooperation of the whole people. Only he was more daring than the rest.
