The Thamud rejected the warnings, 23 and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others? Nay; he is an insolent liar.” 25 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which 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 shared between them, each [day of] drink attended [by turn]. 28 Eventually, they summoned their companion, and he undertook the (outrageous) task and hamstrung the she-camel. 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 indeed made the Qur’an easy to memorise, so is there one who would remember? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 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 Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 And (Lut) did warn them of Our Punishment, but they disputed about the Warning. 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 Indeed an abiding chastisement came upon them in the morning. 38 We said, "Suffer Our torment of which you were warned". 39 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 40
