आयत: 74

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هُمۡ أَحۡسَنُ أَثَٰثٗا وَرِءۡيٗا

(74) And how many are those generations whom We have destroyed before them, who were superior than them in furniture and appearance!^[130]

[130] The lexical items athāthan (lit. furniture) and ri’yā (lit. appearance) have proven somehow polysemous to exegetes. Ibn Kathīr explains: “Some said that athāth refers to wealth, while others said it means belongings, and others interpreted it as clothing. While ri’yā refers to appearance, as stated by Ibn ‘Abbās, Mujāhid, and others, al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī said it refers to physical forms, and Mālik similarly said: athāthan wa ri’īyā means having more wealth and better physical appearance. All these interpretations are closely related and valid.”
