The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 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 to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they summoned their [boldest] companion, and he ventured [upon the evil deed,] and cruelly slaughtered [the animal]: 29 How then were My chastisement and My warnings? 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 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 people of Lot rejected 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 grace from Us. Thus We reward him who giveth thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 We have made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would pay attention? 40
