Thamud denied the warning 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
