Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings? 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
