13:32
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
(Muhammad), people have mocked the Messengers who lived before you. I gave a respite to the unbelievers (so that they would repent, but they did not). Then I struck them with a terrible retribution.
