The people of Thamud rejected Our warnings. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Why - on him alone from among all of us should a [divine] reminder have been bestowed? Nay, but he is a boastful liar!" 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] 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 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention? 40
