“As for ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furiously violent wind, which He unleashed upon them for seven nights and eight consecutive days. You would have seen the people lying dead throughout it, as though they were hollow trunks of fallen palm trees. Can you see any remnant of them?”
﴿وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ (٦) سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَى كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ (٧) فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُمْ مِنْ بَاقِيَةٍ (٨) ﴾
