وَلَقَدِ
اسْتُهْزِئَ
بِرُسُلٍ
مِّن
قَبْلِكَ
فَأَمْلَيْتُ
لِلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
ثُمَّ
أَخَذْتُهُمْ
فَكَيْفَ
كَانَ
عِقَابِ
wa-la-qadi stuhziʾa bi-rusulin min qablika fa-ʾamlaytu li-lladhīna kafarū thumma ʾakhadhtuhum fa-kayfa kāna ʿiqābi
Apostles were certainly derided before you. But then I gave respite to those who were faithless, then I seized them; so how was My retribution?
— Ali Quli Qarai
Mocked were (many) messengers before thee: but I granted respite to the unbelievers, and finally I punished them: Then how (terrible) was my requital!
