[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings; 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them.

Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
