The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
