The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle-fold. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over 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 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
