Thamood cried lies 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 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 are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 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 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 37 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
