﴿ فَمَا زَالَت تِّلْكَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَعَلْنَٰهُمْ حَصِيدًا خَٰمِدِينَ ﴾

“And that cry of theirs did not cease until We caused them to become [like] a field mown down, still and silent as ashes.”

So that saying remained their cry which they would make and repeat until We made them as reaped crops as crops harvested with sickles when they were killed with the sword stilled dead like the stillness of fire when it is extinguished.
