هود — Hud Ayat 116
فَلَوْلَا كَانَ مِنَ الْقُرُوْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ اُولُوْا بَقِيَّةٍ يَّنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسَادِ فِى الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّمَّنْ اَنْجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ ۚوَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَآ اُتْرِفُوْا فِيْهِ وَكَانُوْا مُجْرِمِيْنَ
Fa lau lā kāna minal-qurūni min qablikum ulū baqiyyatiy yanhauna ‘anil-fasādi fil-arḍi illā qalīlam mimman anjainā minhum, wattaba‘al-lażīna ẓalamū mā utrifū fīhi wa kānū mujrimīn(a).
"So why were there not among the generations before you those of enduring discrimination forbidding corruption on earth - except a few of those We saved from among them? But those who wronged pursued what luxury they were given therein, and they were criminals."
