9. Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the
people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None
knows them but Allah. To them came apostles with Clear (Signs); but they put their
hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been
sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."
