Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 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 to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, 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 blessing from Us: thus do We reward all who are grateful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
