The Holy Quran 26:189 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Translation

So they (utterly) rejected him and the punishment of the day of the canopy seized them. It was certainly a punishment of a dreadful day. (When Allaah made the weather extremely hot, all the people left their homes and sought shelter beneath the trees. Allaah then sent a dense cloud towards them, which they took as a "canopy" to escape the heat. When they gathered beneath the cloud, a descending fire scorched them all.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The punishment of the people of Shu'ayb ﵇ by the canopy: a cloud came like a canopy and fire rained down from it, from below the earth was shaken by an earthquake, and a terrifying sound came — and thus the whole people perished. Their story too has already passed in detail earlier; a glance may be cast at the notes there.
