Quran 26:139 — Ash-Shu'araa, verse 139
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
They denounced him as a liar, and so We destroyed them. There truly is a sign in this, though most of them do not believe:
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
fakadhabūhu fa-ahlaknāhum inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīna
