أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشَدَّ قُوَّةً وَآثَارًا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَəфəлəм йəсиируу фииль-əрды фəйəŋŋз̃уруу кəйфə кəəнə 'əəќибəтуль-лəз̃иинə миŋŋ-ќōблиhим, кəəнуу əкc̃əрō минhум вə`əшəддə ќуувəтəу-вə`əəc̃əəрōн фииль-əрды фəмəə əґнəə 'əнhум-мəə кəəнуу йəксибуун
Have they not travelled over the land so that they may observe how was the fate of those who were before them? They were more numerous than them and were greater [than them] in power and with respect to the effects [they left] in the land. But what they used to earn did not avail them. -

فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَرِحُوا بِمَا عِندَهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَфəлəммəə джəə`əтhум русулюhумм-би-ль-бэййинəəти фəриhуу бимəə 'иŋŋдəhум-минəль-'ильми вəhəəќō биhим-мəə кəəнуу биhи йəстəhзи`уун
When their apostles brought them manifest proofs, they boasted about the knowledge they possessed, but they were besieged by what they used to deride. -
40:84
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَكَفَرْنَا بِمَا كُنَّا بِهِ مُشْرِكِينَфəлəммəə рō`əу бə`сəнəə ќōōлюю əəмəннəə биль-лəhи вəhдəhу вəкəфəрнəə бимəə куннəə биhи мушрикиин
Then, when they sighted Our punishment, they said, ‘We believe in Allah alone, and disavow what we used to take as His partners.’ -
40:85
فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَانُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا بَأْسَنَا ۖ سُنَّتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي قَدْ خَلَتْ فِي عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْكَافِرُونَфəлəм йəку йəŋŋфə'уhум иимəəнуhум лəммəə рō`əу бə`сəнəə, суннəтəл-лаhиль-лəтии ќōд хōлəт фии 'ибəəдиh, вəхōсирō hунəəликəль-кəəфируун
But their faith was of no benefit to them when they sighted Our punishment—Allah’s precedent, which has passed among His servants, and it is thence that the faithless will be losers.
