Before these who are making a request, no town which ever made a request for divine signs. to be revealed and was then granted them as per their request ever believed. In fact, they denied them so I destroyed them. So will these people believe?
Not a single town We destroyed before them had believed2. Will they then believe?
[2] Although they witnessed signs and miracles.
Not one of the towns (populations), of those which We destroyed, believed before them (though We sent them signs): will they then believe?
Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe?
(As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will these believe?
There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?
In no way did any town that We caused to perish believe before them. Would they then believe?
