Thamud denied the warning 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 "Is it that the Message is sent to him, of all people amongst us? Nay, he is a liar, an insolent one!" 25 Tomorrow they will come to 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 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their comrade and he took (a sword) and killed (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 LOT'S PEOPLE [too] gave the lie to all [Our] warnings: 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a favour from Us. Thus We recompense him who giveth thanks. 35 Lot warned them against Our torment, but they persistently disputed it. 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 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 40
