Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone?

We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns). 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our 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 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings. 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 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
