Surah Al-Anbiya' (The Prophets), Verse 44

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰۤؤُلَآءِ وَاٰبَآءَهُمْ حَتّٰی طَالَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ اَفَلَا یَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَاْتِی الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَا اَفَهُمُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ۟

Bal matta'naa haaa'ulaaa'i wa aabaaa'ahum hattaa taala 'alaihimul 'umur; afalaa yarawna anna na'til arda nanqusuhaa min atraafihaa; afahumul ghaaliboon

“Nay, We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?”

Quran 21:44 (Yusuf Ali Translation)
