16:26

قَدۡ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنۡيَٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّقۡفُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٢٦

Qad makaral-ladhīna min qablihim fa atallāhu bunyānahum minal-qawā'idi fakharra 'alayhimus-saqfu min fawqihim wa atāhumul-'adhābu min haythu lā yash'urūn
