The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar." 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How then were My chastisement 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 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
