The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 'They shall surely know tomorrow who is the impudent liar. 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 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 nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment 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
