Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 "Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!" 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 And declare thou unto them that water hath been divided between them; every drinking shall be by turns. 28 In response they called their companion – he therefore caught and hamstrung the she-camel. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 Surely We sent upon them a stonestorm, except Lut's followers; We saved them a little before daybreak, 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 "Taste, then, the suffering which I inflict when My warnings are disregarded!" 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
