Thamood cried lies to the warnings 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 How is it that he has received guidance? In fact, he is the most untruthfull and arrogant person". 25 (To him We said): 'Tomorrow they shall know who is the arrogant liar. 26 Behold, [O Salih] We are letting loose this she-camel as a test for them; and thou but watch them, and contain thyself in patience. 27 Tell them that the water is to be divided between them, a drink each for them in turn' 28 Then they called their comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We sent a single blast against them, and they were reduced to husks of a decayed fence. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 As favor from us. Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed 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 And in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
