Verš 30:9

Což necestovali po zemi a neviděli, jaký byl konec těch, kdož před nimi byli? A přece byli mocnější silou a orali zemi a obdělávali ji více, než oni ji obdělávají. A přišli k nim poslové jejich s jasnými znameními. A nebyl Bůh takový, aby jim ukřivdil, leč oni sami na sobě křivdu spáchali.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Have they not travelled in the land and beheld how was the consequence for those before them?, of [past] communities, which was that they were destroyed for denying their messengers. They were more powerful than them — such were ‘Ād and Thamūd — and they effected the land, they tilled it and churned it up to sow crops and cultivate [trees], and developed it more than these, the Meccan disbelievers, have developed it; and their messengers brought them clear signs, manifest proofs, for God would never wrong them, by destroying them without being guilty, but they used to wrong themselves, by denying their messengers.
