[AND the tribe of] Thamud gave the lie to all [Our] warnings; 23 They said, "Should we follow only one person among us. We shall be clearly in error and in trouble (if we do so). 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us?

Thus do We reward he who is grateful. 35 Surely Lot warned his people that We shall seize them (with Our chastisement), but they doubted 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 In the morning early there came upon them a settled chastisement: 38 "Then taste you My Torment and My Warnings." 39 We have made it easy indeed to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? 40
