[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings; 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 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 a sword and hamstrung her. 29 And how [severe] were My punishment and warning. 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the 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 Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, 33 Verily We! We sent upon them a gravel-storm save the household of Lut; them We delivered at early dawn. 34 as a favour from Us. Thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
