۞وَٱذۡكُرۡ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذۡ أَنذَرَ قَوۡمَهُۥ بِٱلۡأَحۡقَافِ وَقَدۡ خَلَتِ ٱلنُّذُرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦٓ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ
Et rappelle-toi le frère des 'Aad (Hûd) quand il avertit son peuple à Al-Ahqâf - alors qu'avant et après lui, des avertisseurs sont passés - [en disant]: «N'adorez qu'Allah. Je crains pour vous le châtiment d'un jour terrible»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And mention the brother of ‘Ād namely Hūd peace be upon him when idh … from here to the end of the verse constitutes an inclusive substitution he warned his people he threatened them at Ahqāf ‘the Sand dunes’ is the name of a valley in Yemen where their dwellings were located — and already warners messengers had passed away before him and after him that is to say before Hūd came to them and after him to their peoples — saying ‘Do not worship anyone but God the statement beginning with wa-qad khalat ‘and already warners had passed away’ is a parenthetical one. Truly I fear for you — should you worship other than God — the chastisement of a dreadful day’.
قَالُوٓاْ أَجِئۡتَنَا لِتَأۡفِكَنَا عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِنَا فَأۡتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
Ils dirent: «Es-tu venu à nous pour nous détourner de nos divinités? Eh bien, apporte-nous ce que tu nous promets si tu es du nombre des véridiques»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
They said ‘Have you come to divert us from our gods? to turn us away from worship of them. Then bring us what you threaten us with of chastisement for worshipping them if you are of the truthful’ in saying that it will befall us.
قَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡعِلۡمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَأُبَلِّغُكُم مَّآ أُرۡسِلۡتُ بِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰكُمۡ قَوۡمٗا تَجۡهَلُونَ
Il dit: «La science n'est qu'auprès d'Allah. Je vous transmets cependant le message avec lequel j'ai été envoyé. Mais je vois que vous êtes des gens ignorants»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
He Hūd said ‘The knowledge is with God only He is the One Who knows when chastisement will befall you and I am merely conveying to you what I have been sent with to you. But I see that you are an ignorant lot’ given your hastening on of the chastisement.
فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهُ عَارِضٗا مُّسۡتَقۡبِلَ أَوۡدِيَتِهِمۡ قَالُواْ هَٰذَا عَارِضٞ مُّمۡطِرُنَاۚ بَلۡ هُوَ مَا ٱسۡتَعۡجَلۡتُم بِهِۦۖ رِيحٞ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
Puis, voyant un nuage se dirigeant vers leurs vallées ils dirent; «Voici un nuage qui nous apporte de la pluie». Au contraire! c'est cela même que vous cherchiez à hâter: C'est un vent qui contient un châtiment douloureux
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
Then when they saw it that is when they saw what chastisement really was as a sudden cloud a cloud that appeared out of nowhere on the horizon heading towards their valleys they said ‘This is a cloud that will bring us rain!’. God exalted be He says Nay but it is what you sought to hasten of the chastisement — a hurricane rīhun substitutes for mā ‘what’ containing a painful chastisement
تُدَمِّرُ كُلَّ شَيۡءِۭ بِأَمۡرِ رَبِّهَا فَأَصۡبَحُواْ لَا يُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَسَٰكِنُهُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
détruisant tout, par le commandement de son Seigneur. Puis le lendemain on ne voyait plus que leurs demeures. Ainsi rétribuons-Nous les gens criminels
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
destroying ruining everything it passes through by the command of its Lord by His will that is to say destroying everything that He wants to destroy with it. And so it destroyed their men women children and properties by flinging them up into the air high above the ground and tearing them to pieces. Only Hūd and those who believed with him remained unscathed. So they became such that nothing could be seen except their dwellings. Thus in the way that We requited them do We requite guilty folk besides them.
