The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 They said: 'Are we to follow a mortal who is one of us? Then indeed, we would surely be in error and insane. 24 Out of all of us has the Reminder been given to him alone? Rather, he is indeed an arrogant liar' 25 Ah! they will know on the morrow, which is the liar, the insolent one! 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 Let them know that the water should be divided between them and the she-camel, each availing their turn.” 28 But they called their companion who took a sword and hamstrung her. 29 How [terrible] were My punishment and My warnings! 30 We sent upon them a single blast of sound and they were left like hay to be used by the cattle. 31 We have made the Koran an easy Remembrance, is there any that will remember! 32 The people of Lot rejected Our warnings. 33 We sent a stone-hurtling storm against them, except the family of Lot whom We saved in the early hours of the morning 34 As a Favour from Us, thus do We reward him who gives thanks (by obeying Us). 35 Lot warned them of Our punishment, but they disputed 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 One early morning Our torment brought upon them utter destruction. 38 So now taste My punishment and My commination! 39 And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)? 40
