﴿ كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌۭ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ ﴾

“TO THE TRUTH gave the lie [the tribe of] Ad: and how severe was the suffering which I inflicted when My warnings were disregarded!”

((The tribe of) 'Aad rejected warnings) the folk of Hud denied Hud. (Then how dreadful) was My punishment after My warnings) see, O Muhammad, how the state of those warned by Hud became when they disbelieved in him.
