Thamud denied the warning 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor. 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention? 40
