Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each 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 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 Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
