Transliteration:( Wa nabbi'hum annal maaa'a qismatun bainahum kullu shirbin muhtadar )
39. This means one day you must drink the water of the well, and the next day would be for the she-camel to drink. You must not drink when it is her turn. There was only one well in their locality whose water would come to an end in the evening. But, at night it would be refilled. Thus, she would drink all its water, but in return would give so much milk, which was sufficient for all the people.

Please refer to Surah Qamar ayat 23 which provides the complete commentary from verse 23 through 32.
19. This explains the verse: We are sending the she-camel as a trial for them. The trial was that suddenly a she-camel was produced before them and they were told that one day she would drink the water all by herself and the next day they would be allowed to have water for themselves and their cattle. On the day of her turn neither would any of them himself come to any of the springs and wells to take water nor bring his cattle for watering. This challenge was given on behalf of the person about whom they themselves admitted that he had no army and no hosts to support him.
