Surah 43. Az-Zukhruf, Ayah 23
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ

- Mohammad Asad
Even so, whenever We sent a Warner before you to forewarn a nation, its affluent people said: "We found our forefathers practicing this faith and surely we are going to follow their footsteps."
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Similarly, whenever We sent a warner to a society before you 'O Prophet', its 'spoiled' elite would say, 'We found our forefathers following a 'particular' way, and we are walking in their footsteps.'
- Mustafa Khattab
And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
- Marmaduke Pickthall
Just in the same way whenever We sent a Warner before thee to any people the wealthy ones among them said: "We found Our fathers following a certain religion and We will certainly follow in their footsteps." 4628
- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
