14لا تَدعُوا اليَومَ ثُبورًا واحِدًا وَادعوا ثُبورًا كَثيرًاMuhammad Asad[But they will be told:] "Pray not today for one single extinction, but pray for many extinctions!"1Although the concept of "extinction" (thubur) implies finality and is, therefore, unrepeatable, the sinners' praying for "many extinctions" is used here as a metonym for their indescribable suffering and a corresponding, indescribable desire for a final escape.
