19:74
وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَـٰثًا وَرِءْيًا
wakam ahlaknā qablahum min qarnin hum aḥsanu athāthan wari'yan
We have destroyed many a generation before them who surpassed them in riches and outward glitter!
And how many a generation (past nations) have We destroyed before them, who were better in wealth, goods and outward appearance?
