Thamud denied the warning 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 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Then We sent against them one Shout and they became like the trampled twigs of the (sheep) penbuilder. 31 Hence, indeed, We made this Qur'an easy to bear in mind: who, then, is willing to take it to heart? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. 33 Lo! We sent a storm of stones upon them (all) save the family of Lot, whom We rescued in the last watch of the night, 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed 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 Early on the morrow an abiding Punishment seized them: 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
