Samood rejected the warning. 23 So they said: What! a single mortal from among us! Shall we follow him? Most surely we shall in that case be in sure error and distress: 24 Hath the admonition been laid upon him from amongst us! Aye! he is a liar insolent. 25 (We told Our Messenger): “Tomorrow they shall know who is the insolent liar. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 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 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 Surely We have made this Qur'an easy as a reminder. Is there, then, any who will take heed? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 Verily We! We sent upon them a gravel-storm save the household of Lut; them We delivered at early dawn. 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 Even his guests they had solicited of him; so We obliterated their eyes, saying, 'Taste now My chastisement and My warnings!' 37 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 'Now, taste My punishment and My warnings' 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
