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 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And tell them that the water is to be divided between them, each drink for each in turn. 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 How then were My punishment and My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our 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 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
