Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 So how awesome were My chastisement and My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
