الم ياتهم نبا الذين من قبلهم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود وقوم ابراهيم واصحاب مدين والمؤتفكات اتتهم رسلهم بالبينات فما كان الله ليظلمهم ولكن كانوا انفسهم يظلمون

Hath not the story reached them Of those before them?— The people of Noah, and ’Ād, And Thamūd; the people Of Abraham, the men Of Midian, and the Cities overthrown. To them came their apostles With Clear Signs. It is Not God Who wrongs them, But they wrong their own souls.
