The Holy Quran 54:31 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَيْحَةً وَٰحِدَةً فَكَانُوا۟ كَهَشِيمِ ٱلْمُحْتَظِرِ

Translation

Verily We sent against them a single shout (a deafening blast from the sky, which killed them all) and they became like the rubble dry sticks (that are thrown away by one who builds enclosures for cattle) (This is a proverb the Arabs used to refer to something completely destroyed and useless).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

إنا أرسلنا عليهم جبريل، فصاح بهم صيحة واحدة، فبادوا عن آخرهم، فكانوا كالزرع اليابس سريع الانكسار الذي يُجْعل حِظارًا على الإبل والمواشي.
