The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress: 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so 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 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted 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 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
