Surah Ghafar (The Forgiver), Verse 5

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّالْاَحْزَابُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ بِرَسُوْلِهِمْ لِیَاْخُذُوْهُ وَجٰدَلُوْا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِیُدْحِضُوْا بِهِ الْحَقَّ فَاَخَذْتُهُمْ فَكَیْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ ۟

Kazzabat qablahum qawmu Noohinw wal Ahzaabu min ba'dihim wa hammat kullu ummatin bi Rasoolihim li ya'khuzoohu wa jaadaloo bilbaatili li yud hidoo bihil haqqa fa akhaztuhum fa kaifa kaana 'iqaab

“But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!”
