The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 It was said to Saleh, “They will soon realise tomorrow who is the mischievous great liar.” 26 “We shall send a she-camel to test them, therefore O Saleh, wait and have patience.” 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed the warnings -- 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
