وَأَصْحَابُ
مَدْيَنَ
وَكُذِّبَ
مُوسَى
فَأَمْلَيْتُ
لِلْكَافِرِينَ
ثُمَّ
أَخَذْتُهُمْ
فَكَيْفَ
كَانَ
نَكِيرِ
wa-ʾaṣḥābu madyana wa-kudhdhiba mūsā fa-ʾamlaytu li-l-kāfirīna thumma ʾakhadhtuhum fa-kayfa kāna nakīri
And the Companions of the Madyan People; and Moses was rejected (in the same way). But I granted respite to the Unbelievers, and (only) after that did I punish them: but how (terrible) was my rejection (of them)!
— Abdullah Yusufali
and the inhabitants of Midian, and Moses was also impugned. But I gave the faithless a respite, then I seized them and how was My rebuttal!
