وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَىٰ
Wa a lmutafikata ahw a
just as He thrust into perdition those cities that were overthrown
  - Mohammad Asad
And also destroyed the Mu'tafikah (Overthrown Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah),
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And 'it was' He 'Who' turned the cities 'of Sodom and Gomorrah' upside down.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And Al Mutafikah He destroyed
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah) 5121
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Verses 53-60 may be construed as a commentary on the aphorisms. The story of the Overthrown Cities, to which Lot was sent for a warning, will be found in xi. 74-83 and the notes thereon. This story may well be treated as separate from the aphorisms as it refers to events that happened in the later life of Abraham.
