Thamud denied the warning 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 Why - on him alone from among all of us should a [divine] reminder have been bestowed? Nay, but he is a boastful liar!" 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 30 Behold, We let loose upon them one single blast [of Our punishment,] and they became like the dried-up, crumbling twigs of a sheepfold. 31 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition: is there then any one who would be admonished. 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the 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 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
