Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 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 certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lot rejected 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 a blessing from Us; even so We recompense him who is thankful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
