(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
