وَفِى ثَمُودَ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَمَتَّعُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ Qur’an Az-Zariyat (51:43)
Wafee thamooda i th qeela lahum tamattaAAoo h att a h een in
And in [the story of the tribe of] Thamud, too, when they were told, "You shall enjoy your life for [but] a little while,"29
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Cf. 11:65 . An outline of the story of the Thamud is given in {7:73-79}.

Likewise the story of Thamud, when it was said to them: "Enjoy yourselves for a while,"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And in 'the story of' Thamûd 'was another lesson,' when they were told, 'Enjoy yourselves 'only' for a 'short' while.'1
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab

 Meaning, you have only three days to live. See 11:65.

And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold they were told "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!" 5019 5020
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Salih their prophet gave them three days' clear warning for repentance (xi. 65). But they heeded him not. On the contrary they flouted him and continued in their evil courses.

See the story of the Thamud and their prophet Salih in vii. 73-79. Here the point is the suddenness of their punishment and its unexpected nature.
