Aya 13
13
وَكَأَيِّن مِن قَريَةٍ هِيَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِن قَريَتِكَ الَّتي أَخرَجَتكَ أَهلَكناهُم فَلا ناصِرَ لَهُم

Muhammad Asad

And how many a community1 of greater power than this thy community which has driven thee out, [O Muhammad,] have We destroyed, with none to succour them!
  • See note 116 on 6:131. It is said that this verse was revealed on the first night of the Prophet's hijrah from Mecca to Medina (Tabari, on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas).
