The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers. 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings? 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And he had already warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warning. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
