The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant 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 (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 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
