Samood rejected the warning. 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 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 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 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warning. 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 a favour 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 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 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
