The Holy Quran 26:189 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Translation

So they (utterly) rejected him and the punishment of the day of the canopy seized them. It was certainly a punishment of a dreadful day. (When Allaah made the weather extremely hot, all the people left their homes and sought shelter beneath the trees. Allaah then sent a dense cloud towards them, which they took as a "canopy" to escape the heat. When they gathered beneath the cloud, a descending fire scorched them all.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فاستمَرُّوا على تكذيبه، فأصابهم الحر الشديد، وصاروا يبحثون عن ملاذ يستظلون به، فأظلتهم سحابة، وجدوا لها بردًا ونسيمًا، فلما اجتمعوا تحتها، التهبت عليهم نارًا فأحرقتهم، فكان هلاكهم جميعًا في يوم شديد الهول.
