Alif Lām Mīm Sād God knows best what He means by these letters.
كِتَٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِي صَدۡرِكَ حَرَجٞ مِّنۡهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
C'est un Livre qui t'a été descendu; qu'il n'y ait, à son sujet, nulle gêne dans ton cœur; afin que par cela tu avertisses, et (qu'il soit) un Rappel aux croyants
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
This is a Book that is revealed to you — addressing the Prophet s — so let there be no inhibition no constraint in your breast because of it to convey it — for fear that you might be called a liar — that you may warn thereby li-tundhira ‘that you may warn’ is semantically connected to unzila ‘is revealed’ that is to say ‘it is revealed for the purposes of warning’ and as a reminder for those who believe in it.
ٱتَّبِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوۡلِيَآءَۗ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Suivez ce qui vous a été descendu venant de votre Seigneur et ne suivez pas d'autres alliés que Lui. Mais vous vous souvenez peu

Little do you remember read tadhakkarūn or yadhakkarūn ‘little are you or they admonished’; the original tā’ of tatadhakkarūn has been assimilated with the dhāl; a variant reading has tadhkurūn; the mā of qalīlan mā ‘little’ is extra merely emphasising the ‘littleness’.
وَكَم مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأۡسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ هُمۡ قَآئِلُونَ
Que de cités Nous avons détruites! Or, Notre rigueur les atteignit au cours du repos nocturne ou durant leur sieste

How many kam is predicative and is the direct object of the main verb ahlaknāhā ‘We have destroyed’ a city meaning its inhabitants have We destroyed have We willed its destruction! So Our might Our chastisement came upon it at night or while they slept at noon qā’ilūn al-qaylūla is a rest taken halfway during the day even if it does not involve sleep in other words sometimes it came upon it at night and sometimes it came during the day.
فَمَا كَانَ دَعۡوَىٰهُمۡ إِذۡ جَآءَهُم بَأۡسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ
Leur invocation, lorsque leur survint notre rigueur, se limita à ces paroles: «Certes nous étions injustes»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And their only plea their only words when Our might came upon them was to say ‘We were evildoers indeed’.
