Asad Translation Note Number :
Malik Quran Translation
And also destroyed the Mu'tafikah (Overthrown Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah),
Yusuf Ali Quran Translation
And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah) 5121
Yusuf Ali Translation Note Number :
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.
Mustafa Khattab Quran Translation
And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down.
