The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 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 Why - on him alone from among all of us should a [divine] reminder have been bestowed? Nay, but he is a boastful liar!" 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] 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 favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt 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 early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
