(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 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 now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
