The tribe of Thamud denied the Noble Messengers. 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 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 them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 Then they called their fellow, and he took the sword and hamstrung her, 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Indeed We sent upon them a single Scream – thereupon they became like the barrier builder’s residual dry trampled hay. 31 And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? 32 The people of Lut treated the warning. as a lie. 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 through Our Mercy. So it is that We recompense the thankful. 35 He had warned them of Our assault but they disputed the warnings. 36 They even asked of him his guests for an ill purpose. Then We blinded their eyes (and said): Taste now My punishment after My warnings! 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
