Al-A'raaf (7:4)
وَكَم مِّن قَرۡیَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَـٰهَا فَجَاۤءَهَا بَأۡسُنَا بَیَـٰتًا أَوۡ هُمۡ قَاۤىِٕلُونَ
How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them.
— Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall
Wa kam min qaryatin ahlaknaahaa fajaaa'ahaa baasunaa bayaatan aw hum qaaa'iloon
