quran:34:16 –

But they turned away ˹refusing˺, so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two ˹fields of˺ gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees.

But they were disregardful, of giving thanks to Him and became disbelievers, so We unleashed upon them the flood of the Dam (al-‘arim is the plural of ‘arima, which is a structure or something similar that holds water back ˹to be stored˺ for when it is needed), in other words, ˹We unleashed upon them˺ the floodwaters of their valley which had been held back by the mentioned ˹structure˺ so that they engulfed their two gardens together with all their property. And We gave them in place of their two gardens two gardens bearing (dhawātay, a dual form of ˹feminine plural˺ dhawāt; usually ˹the form dhātay from˺ the singular ˹would have been used˺) bitter fruit, bitter and vile (ukul may be read as a genitive annexation ˹ukulin khamtin˺ in the sense of ‘that which is eaten ˹thereof being bitter˺; or it may be read without ˹as ukuli khamtin˺; and this ˹phrase˺ is supplemented ˹by the following, wa-athlin wa-shay’in min sidrin qalīl) and tamarisk and sparse lote trees.

القرآن:٣٤:١٦ –

فَأَعْرَضُوا فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَاهُمْ بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَيْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مِنْ سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ

{فأعرضوا} عن شكره وكفروا {فأرسلنا عليهم سيل العرم} جمع عرمة وهو ما يمسك الماء من بناء وغيره إلى وقت حاجته، أي سيل واديهم الممسوك بما ذكر فأغرق جنتيهم وأموالهم {وبدلناهم بجنتيهم جنتين ذواتي} تثنية ذوات مفرد على الأصل {أُكُلٍ خَمْطِ} مرِّ بشع بإضافة أكل بمعنى مأكول وتركها ويعطف عليه {وأثل وشيء من سدر قليل}.
