Samood rejected the warning. 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings? 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 rejected Our warning. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
