Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 33 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
