The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers. 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 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 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 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
