Surah Muminun ayat 44 Tafsir Quran 23:44

﴿ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَىٰ ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَاءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ﴾
[ المؤمنون: 44]

23:44 Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation its messenger, they denied him, so We made them follow one another [to destruction], and We made them narrations. So away with a people who do not believe.

Then sent We Our messengers successively read tatran or tatrā one following the other with a long interval between every two. Whenever there came to a community jā’a ummatan read pronouncing both hamzas or without pronouncing the second one between it and the wāw vowel its messenger they denied him; so We made them follow one another to destruction and We turned them into folktales. So away with a people who do not believe!

Thereafter, We sent Messengers, one succeeding another, and as often as a Messenger presented himself to his people he was accused of falsehood. In consequence, We punished them successively following One upon another and We made them the talk of all towns; Away with people who just refuse to acknowledge Allah

Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified) 16:36. كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ( Every time there came to a nation their Messenger, they denied him; ) meaning the greater majority of them.
