46:24

فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَوْدِیَتِهِمْۙ قَالُوا هٰذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَاؕ بَلْ هُوَ مَا اسْتَعْجَلْتُمْ بِهٖؕ رٖیحٌ فٖیهَا عَذَابٌ اَلٖیمٌۙ

Falamma raawhu AAaridan mustaqbila awdiyatihim qaloo hatha AAaridun mumtiruna bal huwa ma istaAAjaltum bihi reehun feeha AAathabun aleemun

Translations

And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that for which you were impatient: a wind, within it a painful punishment

Saheeh International

Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it is that which ye did seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment
