(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 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 called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
