وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هم أشد منهم بطشا فنقبوا في البلاد (50:36) بالانجليزي

﴿وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا فَنَقَّبُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ هَلْ مِن مَّحِيصٍ﴾
[ ق: 36]

And how many a generation before them did We destroy who were greater than them in [striking] power and had explored throughout the lands. Is there any place of escape?

And how many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were stronger in power than them, and (when Our Torment came) they ran for a refuge in the land! Could they find any place of refuge (for them to save themselves from destruction)?

صفي الرحمن المباركفوري

And how many a generation We have destroyed before them who were stronger in power than they. And they went about the land! Could they find any place of refuge
