Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
