كذبت قبلهم قوم نوح والاحزاب من بعدهم وهمت كل امة برسولهم لياخذوه وجادلوا بالباطل ليدحضوا به الحق فاخذتهم فكيف كان عقاب

But (there were people) before them, Who denied (the Signs),— The People of Noah, And the Confederates (Of Evil) after them; And every People plotted Against their prophet, To seize him, and disputed By means of vanities, Therewith to condemn The Truth: but it was I That seized them! And how (terrible) Was My Requital!
