Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 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 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition: is there then any one who would be admonished. 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 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
