Those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, "Rather, [it was your] conspiracy of night and day when you were ordering us to disbelieve in Allah and attribute to Him equals." But they will [all] confide regret when they see the punishment; and We will put shackles on the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be recompensed except for what they used to do?
And We did not send into a city any warner except that its affluent said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."
And they said, "We are more [than the believers] in wealth and children, and we are not to be punished."
Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know."
