Thamud denied the warning 23 For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 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 Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
