For [thus it is:] whenever We sent a warner to any community, those of its people who had lost themselves entirely in the pursuit of pleasures would declare, Behold, we deny that there is any truth in [what you claim to be] your message!"

Never did We send a warner to a population, but the wealthy ones among them said: "We believe not in the (Message) with which ye have been sent."

And We sent not unto any township a warner, but its pampered ones declared: Lo! we are disbelievers in that wherewith ye have been sent.

And We never sent a warner to a town but those who led easy lives in it said: We are disbelievers in that with which you are sent.

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."
