1OH, THE LAYING-BARE of the truth!

2How awesome that laying-bare of the truth!

3And what could make thee conceive what that laying-bare of the truth will be?

4THE LIE gave [the tribes of] Thamud and ‘Ad to [all tidings of] that sudden calamity!

5Now as for the Thamud - they were destroyed by a violent upheaval [of the earth];

6and as for the ‘Ad - they were destroyed by a storm wind furiously raging,

7which He willed against them for seven nights and eight days without cease, so that in the end thou couldst see those people laid low [in death], as though they were so many [uprooted] trunks of hollow palm trees:

8and dost thou now see any remnant of them?
