And if they reject you, then already before you did the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood reject (prophets).

And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,

The people of Nuh and Ad, and Firon, the lord of spikes, rejected (messengers) before them.

The people of Nuh and the parties after them rejected (prophets) before them, and every nation purposed against their messenger to destroy him, and they disputed by means of the falsehood that they might thereby render null the truth, therefore I destroyed them; how was then My retribution!

And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble messenger,

(Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuh and the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood,

Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away.

In them shall be those who restrained their eyes; before them neither man nor jinni shall have touched them.

Man has not touched them before them nor jinni.
