(Glorified and Exalted is He) a cloud upon them, and when it shaded them and they gathered beneath its shadow, He dropped it upon them and it burned them.
15927 - 'Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Hisinjani narrated to us, [saying]: Musaddad narrated to us, [saying]: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Hatim ibn Abi Yunus, from Yazid ibn Damrah, [who] said: I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying: The day of the shadow, a heat of stagnant air struck them, and it seized their breath, so they went out of their houses and found coolness and called their people.

So Allah sent the shadow upon them, and a man entered beneath it and said: "I have never seen a shade more pleasant or cooler than this day, come hither, O people!" So they all entered beneath the shadow, and He cried out against them one shout, and they all died. Then Muhammad recited: "But they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the shadow seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a great day."

As for the companions of al-Aykah, they were people of dense trees and thickets. Qatadah said: 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As said: Do you know what the affair of the companions of al-Aykah was? They said: Allah knows best. He said: Their affair was that
