The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 40
