The tribe of Thamud also rejected Our warnings: 23 And said, "Is it one human being among us that we should follow? Indeed, we would then be in error and madness. 24 Has the Reminder been cast upon him alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' 25 They shall know tomorrow whichsoever is a liar insolent. 26 Lo! We are sending the she-camel as a test for them; so watch them and have patience; 27 “And inform them that the water is to be shared between them; only those may come whose turn it is.” 28 But they called their commander, who seized and hamstrung her. 29 How then 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 And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? 32 The nation of Lot belied 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 And he indeed had warned them of Our blow, but they did doubt the warnings. 36 they even wanted to seduce his guests -- but We blinded them, and said, "Taste My punishment now that you have scorned My warnings!" -- 37 And at daybreak a determined punishment came upon them. 38 "So taste ye My Wrath and My Warning." 39 And assuredly We have made the Qur'an easy for admonition; is there then any one who would be admonished. 40
