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 “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 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle. 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 Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor. 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 Taste then 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
