Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. 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 grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
