وَإِنْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ ٧٨
And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;
وَإِنْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ ٧٨
And the Companions of the Wood were also wrong-doers;
فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ ٧٩
So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway, plain to see.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ٨٠
The Companions of the Rocky Tract also rejected the messengers:
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ ٨١
We sent them Our Signs, but they persisted in turning away from them.
وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ ٨٢
Out of the mountains did they hew (their) edifices, (feeling themselves) secure.
