The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which 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 comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 and even demanded that he give up his guests [to them]: whereupon We deprived them of their sight [and thus told them, as it were]: "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
