Thamood cried lies to 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 "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 know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 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 them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 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 favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 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 early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
