The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our 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 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 So how did My punishment turn out, 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 folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
