Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warning. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 Then they even solicited his guests from him, whereupon We blotted out their eyes, (telling them): “Now have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings.” 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
