Thamood, too, belied Our 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 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 as a favour from Us. Thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
