Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 “What! Of all the men among us, the remembrance has come down upon him? In fact, he is a mischievous, great liar.” 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient! 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 comrade, and he took in hand, and hamstrung her. 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 A favor from Us; thus do We reward him who gives thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 And they indeed sought to shame his guest (by asking to commit sodomy with them). So We blinded their eyes, "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 37 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 40
