قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
Qāla innamā ūtītuhū ʿalā ʿilmin ʿindī, awalam yaʿlam annallāha qad ahlaka min qablihī minal-qurūni man huwa ashaddu minhu quwwataw waʾaktharu jamʿā, walā yusʾalu ʿan dhunūbihimul-mujrimūn
