The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 "Tomorrow they will know 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 [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 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 Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
