وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا فَجَاءهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَاتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ
[7:4]
And how many a town that We destroyed, so Our punishment came to it by night or while they slept at midday.
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.
How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them.
