(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 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 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 36 they even wanted to seduce his guests -- but We blinded them, and said, "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" -- 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
