فصّلت — Fussilat Ayat 15
فَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوْا مَنْ اَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۗ اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۗ وَكَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا يَجْحَدُوْنَ
Fa ammā ‘ādun fastakbarū fil-arḍi bigairil-ḥaqqi wa qālū man asyaddu minnā quwwah(tan), awalam yarau annallāhal-lażī khalaqahum huwa asyaddu minhum quwwah(tan), wa kānū bi'āyātinā yajḥadūn(a).
"As for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allah who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs."
