We have prepared a painful punishment for the wrongdoers, 37 And Ad, and Thamood, and the men of Er-Rass, and between that generations a many, 38 To each of them We gave warnings and each of them We destroyed completely. 39 And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil.
