The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers. 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor. 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted 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 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 Taste then 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
