Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 as a favour from Us. Thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt 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 early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
