38:3

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

Where other meanings fail

cry

38:3

كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن قَرْنٍ فَنَادَوا۟ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ

Alternative: they cried out, but it was no time for a cry

Research rendering: they cried out, but it was no time for escape

The first cry is already overtly named by فَنَادَوا۟; the denied time concerns a different outcome that the late cry can no longer obtain—escape from destruction.
