Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 And they said: a mere human being from amongst us, and single! shall we follow him! verily then we should fall in error and madness. 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We are sending to them as a trial, a shecamel, so watch them and have patience. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 So how awesome were My chastisement 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 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 Verily We! We sent upon them a gravel-storm save the household of Lut; them We delivered at early dawn. 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 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
