129قالوا أوذينا مِن قَبلِ أَن تَأتِيَنا وَمِن بَعدِ ما جِئتَنا ۚ قالَ عَسىٰ رَبُّكُم أَن يُهلِكَ عَدُوَّكُم وَيَستَخلِفَكُم فِي الأَرضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيفَ تَعمَلونَT. B. IrvingThey said: "We were oppressed before you came to us, and [will be again] after you have come to us." He said: "Perhaps your Lord will wipe out your enemy and leave you as overlords on earth, so He may observe how you act."
