Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 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 Has the [Divine] message been revealed to him alone of all of us? No, he is a boastful liar." 25 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which 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; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Then We sent a single blast against them and they became like dry stubble which has been trampled upon. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the 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 For he had truly warned them of Our punishing might; but they stubbornly cast doubt on these warnings, 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 And early in the morning the decreed punishment came upon them. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 40
