(Muhammad) 47 : 13
وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ هِيَ أَشَدُّ قُوَّةً مِنْ قَرْيَتِكَ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَتْكَ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ فَلَا نَاصِرَ لَهُمْ
And how many countries have We destroyed that were stronger in power than the country that drove you out; then there was no one to help them.
See explanation 8: 30; 17: 76; and 36: 28-29.
