The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 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 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 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 called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 40
