We did aforetime send messengers before thee: of them there are some whose story We have related to thee, and some whose story We have not related to thee. It was not (possible) for any messenger to bring a sign except by the leave of Allah: but when the Command of Allah issued, the matter was decided in truth and justice, and there perished, there and then those who stood on Falsehoods.

But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!

在你之前，我确已派遣许多使者，他们中有我已告诉你的，有我未告诉你的。任何使者，不应昭示迹象，除非获得真主的许可。当真主的命令来临的时候，众生将依真理而被判决；那时，反对真理的人将遭亏折。

当他们看见我的刑罚的时候，他们的正信，对他们毫无裨益。真主以此为众仆的已逝去的常道。那时，不信道者，遭受亏折。
