The word(s) "ad" appears 1454 time(s) in 1186 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(871) "We never heard (the like) of this among the people of these latter days: this is nothing but a made-up tale!"

(872) Before them (were many who) rejected messengers,- the people of Noah, and 'ad, and Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes,

(873) It was We that made the hills declare, in unison with him, Our Praises, at eventide and at break of day,

(874) (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?"... and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).

(875) O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

(876) (Here is) a Book which We have sent down unto thee, full of blessings, that they may mediate on its Signs, and that men of understanding may receive admonition.

(877) This is a Message (of admonition): and verily, for the righteous, is a beautiful Place of (Final) Return,-

(878) Such is the Promise made, to you for the Day of Account!

(879) Here is a troop rushing headlong with you! No welcome for them! truly, they shall burn in the Fire!

(880) (The followers shall cry to the misleaders:) "Nay, ye (too)! No welcome for you! It is ye who have brought this upon us! Now evil is (this) place to stay in!"
