The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
