The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 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 denied the warning. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 They even solicited of him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes: 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 37 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
