(Fuswilath) 41 : 15
فَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۖ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۖ وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ
Then Aad, then they acted arrogantly in the earth without the Truth, and they asked: who is stronger than us in might; don’t they see indeed Allah who has created them, He is stronger than them in might? And they had been repudiating with Our verses.
