38.11 - Soldiers who are defeated there from among the allies. 38.12 - The people of Nuh denied before them, and Ad, and Firon the possessor of pegs. 38.13 - And Thamud, and the people of Lut, and the companions of the thicket. It is them who were the allies. 38.14 - Indeed, each of them denied the messengers, so justified was My punishment. 38.15 - And they do not wait except a single shout; for it, there will be no delay. 38.16 - And they say: Our Lord! Hasten for us our share before the day of reckoning. 38.17 - Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant Dawood, the possessor of power. Indeed, he was (always) returning (to Allah). 38.18 - Indeed, We subjected the mountains with him, glorifying (Allah) in the evening and sunrise. 38.19 - And the birds were gathered; all with him turning (to Allah). 38.20 - And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and a decisive speech.
