Transliteration:( Innaaa arsalnaa 'alaihim saihatanw waahidatan fakaanoo kahasheemil muhtazir )
"Certainly, We sent against them a single cry. They became like dry trampled grass."
In this verse, a single cry refers to a mighty rebuke from Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace), which shattered the hearts of the people of Thamud. This cry symbolizes a severe divine punishment, causing death and destruction with its overwhelming force, similar to how thunder and lightning strike fear into people's hearts, sometimes even causing death.
The verse further describes how the bodies of the Thamud were left in a state of decay, trampled like dry grass, without anyone to bury them. This imagery reflects the disgrace of their death, in contrast to the honor bestowed upon a believer in life and death.
