Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 33 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
