The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar." 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 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 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before 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 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
