(فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ)

(فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ) The letter *fa* (فَ) here denotes immediate succession, and it is also a *fa* of consequence.

(فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا) meaning, upon the garden... (طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ) a punishment, while they were asleep, unaware.

(فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ) They were deprived of the goodness of their garden due to their sin.

From Al-Farra': The *Ta'if* (visitation/calamity) only occurs at night.

Before sleep: (إِذْ أَقْسَمُوا لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ)

During sleep: (فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَائِفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَائِمُونَ)

Examine your intentions before you sleep.
