Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)
Verse 15
Translation:
15. And that cry of theirs ceased not till We made them as a field that is mown as ashes silent and quenched.
Notes (Tafseer):
2675. The two similes present two different aspects of the lamentation of the ungodly. When they really see the Wrath to come, there is a stampede, but where can they go to? Their lamentation is now the only mark of their life. But it dies away, as corn vanishes from a field that is being mown, or as a dying fire is slowly extinguished! They do not die. They wish they were dead! (lxxviii. 40).
