Surah Al-Qasas, ayah 45

وَلَٰكِنَّآ أَنشَأۡنَا قُرُونٗا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنتَ ثَاوِيٗا فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ تَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا وَلَٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِينَ ٤٥

Walākinnā ansha'nā qurūnan fatatāwala 'alayhimul-'umuru wamā kunta thāwiyan fī ahli madyana tatlū 'alayhim āyātinā walākinnā kunnā mursilīn

But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration.¹¹⁰⁷ And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].¹¹⁰⁸
