The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent 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 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from.
