The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 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 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 They will know tomorrow who is the insolent liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 And declare thou unto them that water hath been divided between them; every drinking shall be by turns. 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 32 The people of Lut denied the Noble Messengers. 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 blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
