وَقَالَ تَعَالَى فِي الذَّارِيَاتِ : ﴿ وَفِي عَادٍ إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ

The Almighty said in Surah Adh-Dhariyat: 'And in 'Ad, when We sent against them the barren wind; it left nothing of what it came upon, but made it like decayed ruins.'

وَقَالَ تَعَالَى فِي النَّجْمِ : ﴿ وَأَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ عَادًا الْأُولَى . وَثَمُودَ فَمَا أَبْقَى . وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا هُمْ أَظْلَمَ وَأَطْغَى . وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوَى . فَغَشَّاهَا مَا غَشَّى . فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَى

The Almighty said in Surah An-Najm: 'And that He destroyed the first 'Ad, and Thamud, and spared not. And the people of Noah before; indeed, they were even more unjust and more transgressing. And the overturned cities He threw down. And covered them with that which covered. So which of the favors of your Lord do you doubt?'

وَقَالَ تَعَالَى فِي سُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ : ﴿ كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ . إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ . تَنزِعُ النَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ مُنْقَعِرٍ . فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ . وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

The Almighty said in Surah Al-Qamar: 'Ad denied, so how were My punishment and My warnings? Indeed, We sent against them a screaming wind on a day of continuous misfortune. It plucked people up as if they were trunks of uprooted palm trees. So how were My punishment and My warnings? And We have certainly made the Quran easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?'
