[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings; 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition: is there then any one who would be admonished. 32 The people of Lot denied the 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 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” 37 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
