مَا آمَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ
[21:6]
There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?
(As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will these believe?
Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe?
