40:5

كَذَّبَتْ

قَبْلَهُمْ

قَوْمُ

نُوحٍ

وَالْأَحْزَابُ

مِن

بَعْدِهِمْ

وَهَمَّتْ

كُلُّ

أُمَّةٍ

بِرَسُولِهِمْ

لِيَأْخُذُوهُ

وَجَادَلُوا

بِالْبَاطِلِ

لِيُدْحِضُوا

بِهِ

الْحَقَّ

فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ

فَكَيْفَ

كَانَ

عِقَابِ

The people of Noah who lived before and the Confederate tribes who lived after them rejected Our revelations. Every nation schemed against its Messengers to seize them and disputed against them to defeat the truth. But torment struck them and how terrible was their retribution!
