Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them.
