The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!" 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them: Each one's right to drink being brought forward (by suitable turns). 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lot denied the warning. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 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 there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
