[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] 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 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed 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 indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
