Transliteration:( Fakazzaboohu fa'aqaroohaa fadamdama 'alaihim Rabbuhum bizambihim fasaw waahaa )
14. Although there was only one person involved in the cutting of the hamstrings, i.e. Qaidar, but because the others were either assisting him or had approved of his deed, all had been stated as cutters of the hamstrings. From this we understand that to commit sin, to have the sins committed and to approve of the sins, are all criminal acts, just as performing a pious deed, to persuade others to do these pious acts and to show pleasure at these acts, are all worthy of reward. It should be remembered that the she-camel was the reflection of Divine power, but because it was in the shape of a she-camel, it was possible for one person to slaughter it. These are regulations of prohibition. It is like the Noor (light) of our Beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم in form human , so that he is able to eat and drink.
Or, the walking stick of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) would eat and drink when assuming the form of a snake. Or, Harut and Marut were angels, but when they appeared in human form, they were able to eat and drink, in fact, they would indulge in sexual intercourse. For that reason, mistakes were committed by them.
15. And destroy all the children, the aged, the animals and the buildings; because the human is original and everything else is subservient to him. Thus, when he himself was destroyed, then everything else, too, was destroyed. From this we understand that some of the innocent, too, are inflicted with hardship due to the evils of the sinners. But, this will not happen in the Hereafter.
