The people of Thamud rejected Our warnings. 23 For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent 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 apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How terrible was My punishment and warning. 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. 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 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
