Al-Qasas 28:78 قال انما اوتيته على علم عندي اولم يعلم ان الله قد اهلك من قبله من القرون من هو اشد منه قوة واكثر جمعا ولا يسال عن ذنوبهم المجرمون ٧٨
قَالَ
إِنَّمَآ
أُوتِيتُهُۥ
عَلَىٰ
عِلۡمٍ
عِندِيٓۚ
أَوَلَمۡ
يَعۡلَمۡ
أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
قَدۡ
أَهۡلَكَ
مِن
قَبۡلِهِۦ
مِنَ
ٱلۡقُرُونِ
مَنۡ
هُوَ
أَشَدُّ
مِنۡهُ
قُوَّةٗ
وَأَكۡثَرُ
جَمۡعٗاۚ
وَلَا
يُسۡـَٔلُ
عَن
ذُنُوبِهِمُ
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
