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 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 Indeed, We are sending the she-camel as trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they summoned their [boldest] companion, and he ventured [upon the evil deed,] and cruelly slaughtered [the animal]: 29 So how did My punishment turn out, and 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 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lut belied the warnings. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 And he [Lout (Lot)] indeed had warned them of Our Grasp, but they did doubt the warnings! 36 they even wanted to seduce his guests -- but We blinded them, and said, "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" -- 37 And indeed, the everlasting punishment overcame them early in the morning. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
