Ha-Mym-Sajdah 41:15 فاما عاد فاستكبروا في الارض بغير الحق وقالوا من اشد منا قوة اولم يروا ان الله الذي خلقهم هو اشد منهم قوة وكانوا باياتنا يجحدون ١٥
فَأَمَّا
عَادٞ
فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
بِغَيۡرِ
ٱلۡحَقِّ
وَقَالُواْ
مَنۡ
أَشَدُّ
مِنَّا
قُوَّةًۖ
أَوَلَمۡ
يَرَوۡاْ
أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
ٱلَّذِي
خَلَقَهُمۡ
هُوَ
أَشَدُّ
مِنۡهُمۡ
قُوَّةٗۖ
وَكَانُواْ
بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا
يَجۡحَدُونَ
