And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress: 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
