Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 And tell them that the water [of the well] is to be divided between them, and that each one should drink in turn." 28 But they call their comrade and he took and hamstrung (her). 29 So how did My punishment turn out, and My warnings? 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our 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 him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! 36 And they even sought to snatch away his guests from him, but We blinded their eyes. (They heard:) "Now taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 37 And verily, an abiding torment seized them early in the morning. 38 So taste My chastisement and My warning. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
