And messengers before you were certainly mocked at, but I gave respite to those who disbelieved, then I destroyed them; how then was My requital (of evil)?

And We do not send messengers but as givers of good news and warning, and those who disbelieve make a false contention that they may render null thereby the truth, and they take My communications and that with which they are warned for a mockery.

Thus it is that their recompense is hell, because they disbelieved and held My communications and My messengers in mockery.

And when they see you, they do not take you for aught but a mockery: Is this he whom Allah has raised to be an messenger?
