Samood rejected the warning. 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 reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 But they called their companion who took a sword 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 folk of Lot rejected 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 Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 40
