Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
