Hath not the history of those before you reached you: the folk of Noah, and (the tribes of) A’ad and Thamud, and those after them? None save Allah knoweth them. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs, but they thrust their hands into their mouths, and said: Lo! we disbelieve in that wherewith ye have been sent, and lo! we are in grave doubt concerning that to which ye call us. 9
你們以前的民族——努哈的宗族、阿德人、賽莫德人和他們以後的人,只有真主能知道他們——難道這等人的消息沒有來臨你們嗎?他們族中的使者昭示他們許多明証,但他們把自己的手指插入口內,說:「我們必定不信你們所奉的使命,我們對於你們所宣傳的事情,確是在使人不安的疑惑之中。」
