Samood rejected the warning. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
