Thamood, too, belied Our warnings. 23 and they said: "Are we to follow one single mortal, one from among ourselves? In that case, behold, we would certainly sink into error and folly! 24 Was there none but he to whom the Reminder could be vouchsafed excluding all others?

Each one's right to drink being established (by turns). 28 But they called their companion, so he took (the sword) and slew (her). 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast, and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 31 We made the Quran easy to understand, but is there anyone who would take heed? 32 The people of Lut rejected (his) warning. 33 [and so,] behold, We let loose upon them a deadly tempest; and only Lot 's kinsfolk did We save at the break of dawn, 34 As a favour from Us. That is how We reward the grateful. 35 And assuredly he had warned them of Our grasp, but: they doubted the warnings. 36 They lusted after his guests, so We put out their eyes (and said): "Taste My punishment and My commination." 37 And there came upon them by morning an abiding punishment. 38 So taste My punishment and warning. 39 Easy have We made the Qur'an to understand: So is there any one who will be warned? 40
