The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers. 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
