Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should 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 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in 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 their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
