The people of Thamud rejected Our warnings. 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 And declare thou unto them that water hath been divided between them; every drinking shall be by turns. 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 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 verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 'Now, taste My punishment 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
