Thamud denied the warning 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 Tomorrow shall they 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 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
