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 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
