Samood rejected the warning. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 But they summoned their [boldest] companion, and he ventured [upon the evil deed,] and cruelly slaughtered [the animal]: 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 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] 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 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
