كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْاْ فِيهَا أَلاَ بُعْدًا لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ
[11:95]
As though they had never dwelt in them; now surely perdition overtook Madyan as had perished Samood.
As if they had never dwelt and flourished there! Ah! Behold! How the Madyan were removed (from sight) as were removed the Thamud!
As though they had not dwelt there. A far removal for Midian, even as Thamud had been removed afar!
