Thamud denied the warning 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 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 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 Verily We! We sent upon them a gravel-storm save the household of Lut; them We delivered at early dawn. 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
