Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 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 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My punishment 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 indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 We sent down upon them a violent sandstorm (which destroyed them all) except for the family of Lot, whom We saved in the early morning by Our favor. 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
