The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword 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 people of Lot rejected Our warning. 33 We sent a sandstorm against them which destroyed them all, except the family of Lot, whom We saved at the break of dawn, 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 40
