And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 But they called their companion who took hold of her and hamstrung her. 29 So how awesome were My chastisement 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 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 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 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
