إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ
Inn a arsaln a AAalayhim s ay h atan w ah idatan fak a noo kahasheemi almu h ta th ir i
Behold, We let loose upon them one single blast [of Our punishment],18 and they became like the dried-up, crumbling twigs of a sheepfold.
  - Mohammad Asad

See note [98] on 11:67 .

We let loose on them one mighty blast and they became like the trampled twigs used by a fence builder.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Indeed, We sent against them 'only' one 'mighty' blast, leaving them like the twigs of fence-builders.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Lo! We sent upon them one Shout, and they became as the dry twigs (rejected by) the builder of a cattle fold.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
For We sent against them a single Mighty Blast and they became like the dry stubble used by one who pens cattle. 5151 5152
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

See n. 1047 to vii. 78, and Cf. the same phrase "single Blast" used for the signal for the Resurrection in xxxvi. 53. In the case of the Thamud, the destruction seems to have been by a severe earthquake accompanied with a terrible rumbling noise.

They became like dry sticks such as are used by herdsmen in making pens or enclosures for their cattle.
