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

(811) A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Quran for a people who know:

(812) And He made in it mountains above its surface, and He blessed therein and made therein its foods, in four periods: alike for the seekers.

(813) So He ordained them seven heavens in two periods, and revealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant stars and (made it) to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty, the Knowing.

(814) But if they turn aside, then say: I have warned you of a scourge like the scourge of ad and Samood.

(815) When their apostles came to them from before them and from behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, they said: If our Lord had pleased He would certainly have sent down angels, so we are surely unbelievers in that with which you are sent.

(816) Then as to ad, they were unjustly proud in the land, and they said: Who is mightier in strength than we? Did they not see that Allah Who created them was mightier than they in strength, and they denied Our communications?

(817) And they shall say to their skins: Why have you borne witness against us? They shall say: Allah Who makes everything speak has made us speak, and He created you at first, and to Him you shall be brought back.

(818) And We have appointed for them comrades so they have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them, and the word proved true against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men that have passed away before them-- that they shall surely be losers.

(819) And none are made to receive it but those who are patient, and none are made to receive it but those who have a mighty good fortune.

(820) And among His signs is this, that you see the earth still, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells: most surely He Who gives it life is the Giver of life to the dead; surely He has power over all things.
