Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 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 the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 As grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And certainly he warned them of Our violent seizure, but they obstinately disputed the warning. 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 at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
