بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا
[76:1]
There surely came over man a period of time when he was a thing not worth mentioning.
Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not even) mentioned?
Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
