The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 33 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, 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 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
