As for 'ād, they acted arrogantly in the earth without right, and they said, upon their being threatened with the chastisement, 'Who is more powerful than us in might?', in other words, [they believed] no one [to be so] - a single man among them could pull out a huge rock from a mountainside and [have the strength to] place it wherever he wished. Did they not see, [did they not] realise, that Allahu ta’ālā, He Who created them, was more powerful than them in might? And they used to deny Our verses, the miracles [We sent down].
