Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one! 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 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 lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
