وَأَصْحَٰبُ مَدْيَنَ ۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ
How to read it
Wa 'aṣ'ḥābu mad'yana . wakudhdhiba mūssā fa'am'lay'tu lil'kāfirīna thumma 'akhadh'tuhum' . fakay'fa kāna nakīri
And the Companions of the Madyan People; and Moses was rejected (in the same way). But I granted respite to the Unbelievers, and (only) after that did I punish them: but how (terrible) was my rejection (of them)!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
