The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 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 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
