Chapter 34, Page 432, Juz 22

31. And those who disbelieve say, "We will never believe in this Qur’ān nor in that before it." But if you could see when the wrongdoers are made to stand before their Lord, refuting each others' words... Those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, "If not for you, we would have been believers." 32. Those who were arrogant will say to those who were oppressed, "Did we avert you from guidance after it had come to you? Rather, you were criminals." 33. Those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, "Rather, [it was your] conspiracy of night and day when you were ordering us to disbelieve in Allāh and attribute to Him equals." But they will [all] confide regret when they see the punishment; and We will put shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be recompensed except for what they used to do? 34. And We did not send into a city any warner except that its affluent said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers." 35. And they said, "We are more [than the believers] in wealth and children, and we are not to be punished." 36. Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know."
