سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ Qur’an Al-Haqqah (69:7)
Sakhkharah a AAalayhim sabAAa lay a lin watham a niyata ayy a min h usooman fatar a alqawma feeh a s arAA a kaannahum aAAj a zu nakhlin kh a wiya tun
which He willed against them for seven nights and eight days without cease, so that in the end thou couldst see those people laid low [in death], as though they were so many [uprooted] trunks of hollow palm trees:
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad
- which He let loose on them for seven nights and eight successive days. Had you been there, you would have seen them lying prostrate as though they were hollow trunks of the palm-trees.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
which Allah unleashed on them non-stop for seven nights and eight days, so that you would have seen its people lying dead like trunks of uprooted palm trees.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm trees.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: So that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path) as if they had been roots of hollow palm- trees tumbled down! 5640
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

A graphic simile. Dead men all lying about like hollow trunks of palm-trees, with their roots exposed! The 'Ad were reputed to be of a tall stature.
