The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 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 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 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 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
