Thamood cried lies to the 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 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 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 27 And let them know that the water [of their wells] is to be divided between them, with each share of water equitably apportioned." 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 And indeed he had warned them of Our seizure – in response they doubted the warnings. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 Now taste My punishment after My warnings! 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
