The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 they said, "Are we to follow a man from amongst ourselves? We would surely then fall into error and madness. 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 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 treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
