Thamud gave the lie to the warnings, 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that the water is to be apportioned between them (and her); and every turn of drinking will be fixed (for each)." 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 Verily We! We sent upon them a gravel-storm save the household of Lut; them We delivered at early dawn. 34 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the 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 at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
