Samood rejected the warning. 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 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 as a blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
