فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ Qur’an Al-A'raf (7:133)
Faarsaln a AAalayhimu a l tt oof a na wa a ljar a da wa a lqummala wa al dd af a diAAa wa al ddama a y a tin mufa ss al a tin fa i stakbaroo wak a noo qawman mujrimeen a
Thereupon We let loose upon them floods, and [plagues of] locusts, and lice, and frogs, and [water turning into] blood96 - distinct signs [all]: but they gloried in their arrogance, for they were people lost in sin.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

For a description of these plagues, see Exodus vii-x.

So We plagued them with storms, locusts, lice, frogs and blood: clear cut signs, yet they persisted in their arrogance, for they were a criminal nation.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So We plagued them with floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood- all as clear signs, but they persisted in arrogance and were a wicked people.
  - Mustafa Khattab

So We sent them the flood and the locusts and the vermin and the frogs and the blood--a succession of clear signs. But they were arrogant and became guilty.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

So We sent (plagues) on them wholesale death Locusts Lice Frogs and Blood: signs openly Self-explained; but they were steeped in arrogance a people given to sin. 1090 1091
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Tufan = a widespread calamity, causing wholesale death and destruction. It may be a flood, or a typhoon, or an epidemic, among men or cattle. Perhaps the last is meant, if we may interpret by the Old Testament story. See also Exod. ix. 3, 9, 15; xii. 29.

In xvii. 101, the reference is to nine Clear Signs. These are: (1) the Rod (vii. 107), (2) the Radiant Hand (vii. 108), (3) the years of drought or shortage of water (vii, 130), (4) short crops (vii. 130), and the five mentioned in this verse, viz., (5) epidemics among men and beasts, (6) locusts, (7) lice, (8) frogs, and (9) the water turning to blood.
