- "Thou art no more than a mortal like us: then bring us a Sign if thou tellest the truth!"
- He said: "Here is a she-camel: she has a right of watering and ye have a right of watering (severally) on a day appointed.
- "Touch her not with harm lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."
- But they hamstrung her: then did they become full of regrets.

- They said: "If thou desist not O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!"
- He said: "I do detest your doings."
- "O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"
- So We delivered him and his family all
- Except an old woman who lingered behind.
- But the rest We destroyed utterly.
- We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!
- Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
- And verily thy Lord is He the Exalted in Might Most Merciful.
