Translation of the meanings Ayah: (70) Surah: At-Tawbah
أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِهِمۡ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ قَوۡمِ نُوحٖ وَعَادٖ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوۡمِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَأَصۡحَٰبِ مَدۡيَنَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَٰتِۚ أَتَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ
(70) Had not the news of those who came before them reached them: the people of Nūḥ, ˹the tribes of˺ ʿĀd and Thamūd, the people of Ibrāhīm, the companions of Midian and the overturned[2163]; their Messengers came to them with clear evidences! Allah would not have wronged them but they were bent on wronging themselves.
[2163] al-Mu’tafikāt (lit. the overturned) are the villages of the people of Prophet Lot (عليه السلام) that were flipped upside down (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Ibn Kathīr).
