The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted the warnings. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
