Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warning. 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 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
