Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress: 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 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 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 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 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
