Thamud (people also) belied the warnings. 23 For they said: "What! a man! a Solitary one from among ourselves! shall we follow such a one? Truly should we then be straying in mind, and mad! 24 Has the message been sent down upon him from among us? Rather, he is an insolent liar." 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 We shall send the she-camel as a trial for them; so watch their end with patience. 27 And inform them that the water is shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 Ah! how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning! 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 32 The people of Lot cried lies to the warnings. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 He had warned them of Our assault, but they disputed the warnings. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 And certainly a lasting chastisement overtook them in the morning. 38 So have a taste of My chastisement and My warnings. 39 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 40
