Thamud (people also) 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 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 for We are [going to] send the she-camel as a trial for 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 their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 32 The nation of Lot belied Our warnings. 33 and behold, We let loose upon them a tempest which rained stones upon them, except upon Lot's household whom We rescued in the last hours of the night 34 As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks. 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed 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 And assuredly there met them early in the morning a torment settled. 38 Taste then My torment and My warnings. 39 Now We have made the Koran easy for Remembrance. Is there any that will remember? 40
