Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 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 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
