وَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

Wafee thamooda ith qeela lahum tamattaAAoo hatta heenin

فَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ

FaAAataw AAan amri rabbihim faakhathathumu alssaAAiqatu wahum yanthuroona

But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
