The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 So how dreadful have been My torment and My warnings. 30 Verily, We sent against them a single Saihah (torment - awful cry, etc.), and they became like the dry stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And indeed, abiding suffering did befall them early on the morrow: 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
