The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 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 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Behold, We let loose upon them one single blast [of Our punishment,] and they became like the dried-up, crumbling twigs of a sheepfold. 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 rejected (his) warning. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
