Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Then We sent a single blast against them and they became like dry stubble which has been trampled upon. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
