Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" 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 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 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 even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
