The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
