The word(s) "ad" appears 1337 time(s) in 1082 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(781) How many did We destroy before them of the generations, then they cried while the time of escaping had passed away.

(782) And the chief persons of them break forth, saying: Go and steadily adhere to your gods; this is most surely a thing sought after.

(783) The people of Nuh and ad, and Firon, the lord of spikes, rejected (apostles) before them.

(784) Surely We made the mountains to sing the glory (of Allah) in unison with him at the evening and the sunrise,

(785) And has there come to you the story of the litigants, when they made an entry into the private chamber by ascending over the walls?

(786) He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).

(787) Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

(788) o Dawood! surely We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (as for) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shall surely have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning.

(789) Then We made the wind subservient to him; it made his command to run gently wherever he desired,

(790) And most surely he had a nearness to Us and an excellent resort.
