39 Preface وَقارونَ وَفِرعَونَ وَهامانَ ۖ وَلَقَد جاءَهُم موسىٰ بِالبَيِّناتِ فَاستَكبَروا فِي الأَرضِ وَما كانوا سابِقينَYusuf Ali(Remember also) Qarun,1 Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us).For Qarun see 28:76-82; Pharaoh is mentioned frequently in the Qur-ān, but he is mentioned in association with Raman in 28:6; for their blasphemous arrogance and defiance of God see 28:38. They thought such a lot of themselves, but they came to an evil end.
