And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Hath the remembrance been given unto him alone among us? Nay, but he is a rash liar. 25 [We said to him] "Tomorrow they shall know who is the boastful liar, 26 For We will send the she-camel by way of trial for them. So watch them, (O Salih), and possess thyself in patience! 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 But they called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 Then see how (dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 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 We let loose on all of them a squall of claystones, except for the house of Lot whom We saved at dawn 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt 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 in truth the punishment decreed befell them early in the morning. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
