Al-Mu'minun 23:41

Word by word

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ غُثَآءً ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

ولم يلبثوا أن جاءتهم صيحة شديدة مع ريح، أهلكهم الله بها، فماتوا جميعًا، وأصبحوا كغثاء السيل الذي يطفو على الماء، فهلاكًا لهؤلاء الظالمين وبُعْدًا لهم من رحمة الله، فليحذر السامعون أن يكذبوا رسولهم، فيحل بهم ما حل بسابقيهم.
