And the Thamud belied the 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 "Tomorrow they will know who is the impudent liar! 26 We shall send the she-camel to try them. So watch them, and be constant. 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 How was then My punishment of which they had been warned? 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our 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 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 And they had demanded from him his guests, but We obliterated their eyes, [saying], "Taste My punishment and warning." 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
