Has it then not become clear to these deniers of the Messenger: how many We destroyed before them of the past nations, they walking in their dwellings, witnessing them with their own eyes like the people of Hud, Salih, and Lot? Indeed in that are surely signs and exhortations by which the truthfulness of the messengers who came to them is deduced, and the voidness of what they are upon of polytheism. Do these deniers of the messengers then not hear the exhortations of Allah and His arguments, thus benefiting by them?
