[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings; 23 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 30 Then We sent a single blast against them and they became like dry stubble which has been trampled upon. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are 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 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
