قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَۚ ( الذاريات: ٣١ )
[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
قَالُوْٓ اِنَّآ اُرْسِلْنَآ اِلٰى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِيْنَۙ ( الذاريات: ٣٢ )
They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals
لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّنْ طِيْنٍۙ ( الذاريات: ٣٣ )
To send down upon them stones of clay,
مُّسَوَّمَةً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِيْنَ ( الذاريات: ٣٤ )
Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."
فَاَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيْهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۚ ( الذاريات: ٣٥ )
So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.
فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيْهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَۚ ( الذاريات: ٣٦ )
And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.
وَتَرَكْنَا فِيْهَآ اٰيَةً لِّلَّذِيْنَ يَخَافُوْنَ الْعَذَابَ الْاَلِيْمَۗ ( الذاريات: ٣٧ )
And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
وَفِيْ مُوْسٰىٓ اِذْ اَرْسَلْنٰهُ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ( الذاريات: ٣٨ )
And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.
فَتَوَلّٰى بِرُكْنِهٖ وَقَالَ سٰحِرٌ اَوْ مَجْنُوْنٌ ( الذاريات: ٣٩ )
But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."
فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَجُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِى الْيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيْمٌۗ ( الذاريات: ٤٠ )
So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.
