85:4

Al-Buruj · Ayah 4

قُتِلَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأُخْدُودِ

Destroyed [i.e., cursed] were the companions of the trench[1895]

Translator's notes

[1895] Or "May they be destroyed" or "cursed." The "companions of the trench" (or ditch) were agents of a tyrannical king who refused to allow his people to believe in Allāh. Their evil deed in obedience to their ruler earned for them the curse of Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) .
