Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Indeed, We sent upon them one blast from the sky, and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen. 31 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And they tried to persuade him regarding his guests – We therefore blinded their eyes, “So taste My punishment, and My warnings.” 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 “So taste My punishment, and My warnings!” 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
