Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 So they said, “What! Shall we follow a man from among us? If we do, we are indeed astray, and insane!” 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 But they called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 Lot's people also gave the lie to the warnings, 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
