Saheeh International

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them,1 so will they believe?

              

Saheeh International

And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.

         

Saheeh International

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,1 nor were they immortal [on earth].

        

Saheeh International

Then1 We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.

        

Saheeh International

We have certainly sent down to you a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in which is your mention.1 Then will you not reason?

          

Saheeh International

And how many a city which was unjust1 have We shattered and produced after it another people.

       

Saheeh International

And when they [i.e., its inhabitants] perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

          

Saheeh International

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."1

     

Saheeh International

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."

        

Saheeh International

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire].
