وَلٰكِنَّآ اَنْشَأْنَا قُرُوْنًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِيًا فِيْٓ اَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيٰتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِيْنَ ( القصص: ٤٥ )
Wa Lakinnā 'Ansha'nā Qurūnāan Fataţāwala `Alayhimu Al-`Umuru Wa Mā Kunta Thāwīāan Fī 'Ahli Madyana Tatlū `Alayhim 'Āyātinā Wa Lakinnā Kunnā Mursilīna. (al-Q̈aṣaṣ 28:45)
A. S. F. Bubenheim and N. Elyas:
Wir aber ließen Geschlechter entstehen, und es war ihnen ein langes Leben beschieden. Und du hattest dich nicht unter den Leuten von Madyan niederge lassen, um ihnen Unsere Zeichen zu verlesen. Wir aber entsandten immer wieder (Propheten). ([28] al-Qasas (Die Geschichten) : 45)
English Sahih:
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message]. ([28] Al-Qasas : 45)
