qāla yāqawmi ara-aytum in kuntu ʿalā bayyinatin min rabbī waātānī min`hu raḥmatan faman yanṣurunī mina l-lahi in ʿaṣaytuhu famā tazīdūnanī ghayra takhsīrin
The Aya says:
He responded: “O my people, have you
considered if I were on guidance from my nurturing Lord and he provided me with
grace from him. So who will protect me
from him in case I rebelled. Therefore,
you are not supplying me except with failure.”
My personal note:
Saleh responded to them that what they
propose to him is more harmful than helpful.
He is using logic that they are not going to listen to.
Translation of the transliterated words:
qāla: He said/ he responded
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying
in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from
the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person plural).
This, in turn means: they said or claimed. In this context it takes the meaning
of they responded.
Yāqawmi: O my
people
Note: YA is used for calling. QAWMI is derived from the root Qaf-Y-M and it means
standing or standing upright. QAWMI are the people that stand together and that
makes the group or people or nation, basically, any group of people that stand
together or form a group. YAQAWMI means O my people.
Ara’aytum: Have you (plural) seen?/ Have you considered

the root is R-Hamza-Y
and it means viewing or seeing. ARA’AYTUM is a question of action addressed to
a group. It carries the meaning of: Have
you (plural) seen? Or Have you considered?

it takes the meaning of I were.
ʿalā: upon
Bayyinatin: Clarity/ Clear guidance
Note: BAYYINATIN is derived from the root B-Y-N and it means in
concrete between. The action of the verb is betweening. This betweening can
mean clarifying because one can know better the difference between two things.
It also can mean distancing because the betweening makes things become apart.
