We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men from among the people of the towns, to whom We revealed. Have they not travelled over the land so that they may observe how was the fate of those who were before them? And the abode of the Hereafter is surely better for those who are Godwary. Do you not exercise your reason?
و پيش از تو نفرستاديم مگر مردانى را از مردم شهرها كه بديشان وحى مى‌كرديم پس آيا در زمين، نگشته‌اند تا بنگرند كه سرانجام كسانى كه پيش از آنان بودند چگونه بود؟ و هر آينه سراى بازپسين براى پرهيزگاران بهتر است، آيا خرد را كار نمى‌بنديد؟
