76:1
هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْـًٔا مَّذْكُورًا
hal atā ʿalā l-insāni ḥīnun mina l-dahri lam yakun shayan madhkūran
Was there not a period of time when man was nothing to speak of ?
Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was not a thing worth mentioning?
