(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 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 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the 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 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
