Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 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 a favour from Us.
