Then it was struck by a torment from your Lord while they slept,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

so it was reduced to ashes.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And it became as though reaped.

Then by daybreak they called out to each other,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And they called one another at morning,
— Saheeh International
˹saying,˺ “Go early to your harvest, if you want to pick ˹all˺ the fruit.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
— Saheeh International
So they went off, whispering to one another,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
So they set out, while lowering their voices,
— Saheeh International
“Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
— Saheeh International
And they proceeded early, totally fixated on their purpose.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.1

But when they saw it ˹devastated˺, they cried, “We must have lost ˹our˺ way!
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
— Saheeh International
In fact, we have been deprived ˹of our livelihood˺.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Rather, we have been deprived."
— Saheeh International
The most sensible of them said, “Did I not urge you to say, ‘Allah willing.’?”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?'"1
— Saheeh International
They replied, “Glory be to our Lord! We have truly been wrongdoers.”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
