waters): it was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them: they injured (and oppressed) their own souls.

3462 For hasib (violent tornado with showers of stones), see xvii. 68; this punishment as inflicted on the Cities of the Plain,
of which Lot preached (liv. 34). Some Commentators think that this also applied to the 'Ad, but their punishment is
described as by a violent and unseasonable cold wind (xli. 16; liv. 19 and lxix. 6), such as blows in sand-storms in the
Ahqaf, the region of shifting sands which was in their territory. (29.40)
3463 For saihat (Blast) see xi. 67 and n. 1561, as also n. 1047 to vii. 78 and n. 1996 to xv. 73. This word is used in
describing the fate of (1) the Thamud (xi. 67); Madyan (xi. 94); the population to which Lut preached (xv. 73); and the
Rocky Tract (Hijr, xv. 83), part of the territory of the Thamud; also in the Parable of the City to which came three
Prophets, who found a single-believer (xxxvi. 29). (29.40)
3464 This was the fate of Qarun: see xxviii. 81. Cf. also xvi. 45 and n. 2071. (29.40)
3465 This was the fate of the hosts of Pharaoh and Haman (xxviii. 40) as well as the wicked generation of Noah (xxvi. 120).
(29.40)
54:34 - We sent against them a violent tornado with showers of stones (which destroyed them)
except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn 5154
5154 Hasib: a violent tornado bringing a shower of stones. The word occurs here; in xvii. 68 (without reference to any
particular place); in xxix. 40 (where it seems to refer to Lot's Cities, see n. 3462); and in lxvii. 17 (where again there is
no reference to a particular place). In Lot's Cities the shower was of brimstone: see xi. 82. (54.34)
67:17 - Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado
(with showers of stones) so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning? 5574
5574 Cf. xvii. 68; and xxix. 40, n. 3462. Such a violent wind destroyed the wicked Cities which defied Lut's warning. (67.17)
TOWNS:
7:4 - How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden
by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
7:96 - If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah We should indeed have opened
out to them (all kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth) and We
brought them to book for their misdeeds.
7:97 - Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of our wrath by night while they
were asleep? 1067
1067 This and the two following verses should be read together. They furnish a commentary on the story of the five
prophets that has already been related. Allah's wrath may come by night or by day, whether people are arrogantly
defying Allah's laws or are sunk in lethargy or vain dreams of unreality. Who can escape Allah's decree, and who can
feel themselves outside it except those who are seeking their own ruin? (7.97)
7:101 - Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: there came indeed to them
their apostles with clear (signs): but they would not believe what they had rejected before.
Thus doth Allah seal up the heart of those who reject faith. 1070
1070 Those who have heard the Message and rejected it find it more difficult afterwards to retrace their steps. Evil has
blocked the channels of Allah's grace to them. It begins with their breaking their Covenant with Allah; with each step
afterwards they fall deeper and deeper into the mire. (7.101)
34:18 - And We set, between them and the towns which We had blessed, towns easy to be seen,
and We made the stage between them easy, (saying): Travel in them safely both by night and
day.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4292 Narrated by
AbuBakrah
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Some of my people will alight on low-lying ground, which
they will call al-Basrah, beside a river called Dajjal (the Tigris) over which there is a bridge. Its people will
be numerous and it will be one of the capital cities of immigrants (or one of the capital cities of Muslims,
according to the version of Ibn Yahya who reported from AbuMa'mar). At the end of time the descendants
of Qantura' will come with broad faces and small eyes and alight on the bank of the river. The town's
inhabitants will then separate into three sections, one of which will follow cattle and (live in) the desert and
