﴿ إِن كَانَتْ إِلَّا صَيْحَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ فَإِذَا هُمْ خَٰمِدُونَ ﴾
“nothing was [needed] but one single blast [of Our punishment] - and lo! they became as still and silent as ashes.”
(It was but one Shout) from Gabriel; Gabriel took hold of the sides of the door and cried one single cry, (and lo! they were extinct) they were dead without any motion in them.
