we sent not before thee save men whom we inspired from among the folk of the townships have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? and verily the abode of the hereafter for those who ward off is best. have ye then no sense? till when the messengers despaired and thought that they were denied then came unto them our help and whom we would was saved. and our wrath cannot be warded from the guilty.
وما أرسلنا من قبلك إلا رجالا نوحي إليهم من أهل القرى أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم ولدار الآخرة خير للذين اتقوا أفلا تعقلون حتى إذا استيأس الرسل وظنوا أنهم قد كذبوا جاءهم نصرنا فنجي من نشاء ولا يرد بأسنا عن القوم المجرمين
