وَلٰكِنَّٓا اَنْشَاْنَا قُرُونًا فَتَطَاوَلَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْعُمُرُۚ وَمَا كُنْتَ ثَاوِیًا فٖٓی اَهْلِ مَدْیَنَ تَتْلُوا عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیَاتِنَاۙ وَلٰكِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلٖینَ
Walakinna anshana quroonan fatatawala AAalayhimu alAAumuru wama kunta thawiyan fee ahli madyana tatloo AAalayhim ayatina walakinna kunna mursileena
Translations
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message]
Saheeh International
But We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations, but We kept sending (messengers to men)
