Thamud denied the warning 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 Was he the one of all of us to have been given the exposition? He is surely an impudent liar." 25 (Unto their warner it was said): To-morrow they will know who is the rash liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them; every share of the water shall be regulated. 28 But they called their companion, and he dared and hamstrung [her]. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 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 certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lout (Lot) belied the warnings. 33 Verily, We sent against them a violent storm of stones (which destroyed them all), except the family of Lout (Lot), whom We saved in last hour of the night, 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
