The word(s) "towns" appears 48 time(s) in 44 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(41) And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns?

(42) And verily We have destroyed townships round about you, and displayed (for them) Our revelation, that haply they might return.

(43) And how many a township stronger than thy township (O Muhammad) which hath cast thee out, have We destroyed, and they had no helper!

(44) That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.
