Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 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 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 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 blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted 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 early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
