The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely 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 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns). 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
