Thamud denied the warning 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
