His people rejected him and so the earthquake struck them. When morning came, they were laying dead in their homes, and they were motionless.
But they rejected him, so an earthquake seized them and they fell lifeless in their homes.
And they belied him [Shu‘aib]: so the earthquake seized them, and they lay (dead), prostrate in their dwellings.
But they denied him, and the dreadful earthquake took them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place.
But they rejected him: Then the mighty Blast seized them, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning.
But they rejected him, so a severe earthquake overtook them, and they became motionless bodies in their abode.
Yet they cried lies to him. Then the Commotion took them (away); so in the morning they became cowering (bodies) in their home-residence.
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ
