Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar." 25 [And God said:] "On the morrow they will come to know who the boastful liar is! 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 as a blessing from Us: this is how We reward the thankful. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the 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 certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
