26:189

فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

fakadhabūhu fa-akhadhahum ʿadhābu yawmi l-ẓulati innahu kāna ʿadhāba yawmin ʿaẓīmin

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

— Saheeh International

They called him a liar, and so the torment of the Day of Shadow came upon them- it was the torment of a terrible day.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them. Indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
