Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 27 Tell them that the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings? 30 Then We sent a single blast against them and they became like dry stubble which has been trampled upon. 31 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition: is there then any one who would be admonished. 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warning. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the 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 at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
