And the Thamud belied the warnings. 23 And said: "Should we follow only one man among us? In that case we shall be in error and insane." 24 Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar! 25 (We told Salih), "Tomorrow they will know who is the most arrogant liar. 26 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for them, so watch them and be patient. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 They called together their companions and agreed to slay the she-camel. 29 How (great) was then My punishment and My warning! 30 Surely We sent upon them a single cry, so they were like the dry fragments of trees which the maker of an enclosure collects. 31 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 32 The folk of Lot rejected warnings. 33 Indeed We sent a shower of stones upon them, except the family of Lut; We rescued them before dawn. 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 He had warned them of Our might, but they passed over the warnings. 36 And assuredly they solicited him for his guests: then We wiped out their eyes: taste then My torment and My warnings. 37 and early in the morning the punishment decreed overtook them -- 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
