Samood rejected the warning. 23 saying: “Are we to follow a single mortal, one from among ourselves? If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 They shall send the She-camel as a trial for them; so watch thou them and keep patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 We loosed against them one Cry, and they were as the wattles of a pen-builder. 31 Indeed, We have made the Quran easy to learn lessons from. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 32 The people of Lot rejected the warnings. 33 We loosed against them a squall of pebbles except the folk of Lot; We delivered them at the dawn -- 34 Thus do We recompense the grateful ones. 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted the warnings. 36 And certainly they endeavored to turn him from his guests, but We blinded their eyes; so taste My chastisement and My warning. 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyone who will mind? 40
