And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us?

Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
