The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, 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. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 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 chastisement and My warning. 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
