If we do that, we shall surely be in error and folly. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 Tomorrow shall they know who is the liar, the insolent one. 26 Verily We are sending the she-camel as a test for them, so watch them thou and have patience. 27 Tell them that each one of them has the right to have a certain share of water". 28 But they called to their companion, and he took a sword in hand, and hamstrung (her). 29 and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded! 30 Lo!
