Verse 116 from surah Hud

﴿فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُولُو بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا أُتْرِفُوا فِيهِ وَكَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ﴾
[ هود: 116]

English - Sahih International

11:116 So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals.

Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English
Abridged Explanation of the Quran

If only there were, among the communities who were punished before you, remnants of the people of virtue and piety who prohibited those communities from disbelief and from corruption on earth through sins.
But there were no such remnants among them, except for a few of them who used to prohibit corruption and whom I saved when I destroyed their people who did wrong.
The wrongdoers from their people pursued the luxuries they had and were wrong in doing so.


Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

If only there had been among the generations before you, persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Al-Fasad (disbelief, polytheism, and all kinds of crimes and sins) in the earth, except a few of those whom We saved from among them. Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers in Allah, polytheists, sinners, etc.).

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation


Why were there not, among the generations before you, persons possessed of balanced good sense, prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth - except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrong-doers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them, and persisted in sin.


Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri


If only there had been among the generations before you persons having wisdom, prohibiting (others) from Fasad (corruption) in the earth, except a few of those whom We saved from among them! Those who did wrong pursued the enjoyment of good things of (this worldly) life, and were criminals.

فلولا كان من القرون من قبلكم أولو بقية ينهون عن الفساد في الأرض إلا قليلا ممن أنجينا منهم واتبع الذين ظلموا ما أترفوا فيه وكانوا مجرمين

سورة: هود - آية: ( 116 )  - جزء: ( 12 )  -  صفحة: ( 234 )

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

If only there had been among the preceding generations a class of persons virtuous, strong and influential enough to warn people against corruption and to forbid mischief on earth and prohibit perversion as did the few of them whom We saved. But the wrongful of actions pursued pleasure, and lust after the mundane vanity they were entangled with, and were steeped in crime


Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(11:116) Why were there not, out of the generations that passed away before you, righteous men who would forbid others from causing corruption on the earth? And if such were there, they were only a few whom We had saved from those generations, or else the wrong-doers kept pursuing the ease and comfort which had been conferred upon them, thus losing themselves in sinfulness.

پھر کیوں نہ اُن قوموں میں جو تم سے پہلے گزر چکی ہیں ایسے اہل خیر موجود رہے جو لوگوں کو زمین میں فساد برپا کرنے سے روکتے؟ ایسے لوگ نکلے بھی تو بہت کم، جن کو ہم نے ان قوموں میں سے بچا لیا، ورنہ ظالم لوگ تو انہی مزوں کے پیچھے پڑے رہے جن کے سامان انہیں فراوانی کے ساتھ دیے گئے تھے اور وہ مجرم بن کر رہے
