(The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar." 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 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 But they called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Behold, We sent a single Blast against them, and they became like the trampled twigs of a sheep pen-builder. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed 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 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
