The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant 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 comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) 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 We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
