Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 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 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 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 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 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 denied the warning. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 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 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
