Thamud denied the warning 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
