The Thamud (also) rejected (their) Warners. 23 For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness. 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one! 26 We are sending the she-camel to them to test them. So watch them and be patient. 27 And inform them that the water is to be shared between (her and) them. Every drinking will be witnessed. 28 But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). 29 How terrible was My punishment and warning. 30 Verily We, We sent upon them one shout, and they became as the stubble of a fold-builder. 31 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,- 34 As a reward from Us; this is how We reward one who gives thanks. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted the warnings. 36 They demanded that he turn over his guests to them. We struck their faces, blinded them and said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 37 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
