So wait for a day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke4,

Notes

[4] Referring to the drought that affected the pagans of Makkah severely, so they came to the Prophet (ﷺ), begging him to supplicate Allah to remove the affliction from them.

Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke,

But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke

Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,

Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,

So be on the watch for a Day when the heaven will come up with an evident smoke,
