وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمْ

فِي

الْأَرْضِ

أُمَمًا

مِّنْهُمُ

الصَّالِحُونَ

وَمِنْهُمْ

دُونَ

ذَلِكَ

وَبَلَوْنَاهُم

بِالْحَسَنَاتِ

وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ

لَعَلَّهُمْ

يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-qaṭṭaʿnāhum l-ʾarḍi ʾumaman minhumu ṣ-ṣāliḥūna wa-minhum dūna dhālika wa-balawnāhum bi-l-ḥasanāti wa-s-sayyiʾāti laʿallahum yarjiʿūna

We divided them into nations on the earth; some are righteous and others are not. We tested them with well-being and hardship so that they might return (to the right path).
