Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Lo!

So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
