Surah Al-Qasas (The Stories), Verse 58

وَكَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ بَطِرَتْ مَعِیْشَتَهَا فَتِلْكَ مَسٰكِنُهُمْ لَمْ تُسْكَنْ مِّنْ بَعْدِهِمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا وَكُنَّا نَحْنُ الْوٰرِثِیْنَ ۟

Wa kam ahlaknaa min qaryatim batirat ma'eeshatahaa fatilka masaakinuhum lam tuskam mim ba'dihim illaa qaleelaa; wa kunnaa Nahnul waariseen

And how many populations We destroyed, which exulted in their life (of ease and plenty)! now those habitations of theirs, after them, are deserted,- All but a (miserable) few! and We are their heirs!
