Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?

To the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous,-

在你之前，我只派遣了城市居民中的若干男子，我启示他们，难道他们没有在大地上旅行，因而观察前人的结局是怎样的吗？后世的住所，对于敬畏者是更好的。难道你们不理解吗？

有人问敬畏者说：“你们的主曾降示什么？”他们说：“他降示善言。”行善者在今世将享受美满的生活，而后世的住宅确是更好的。敬爱者的住宅真优美。
