Surah 37. As-Saffat, Ayah 137

Lit., "you pass by them", i.e., by the places where they lived (see 15:76 and the corresponding note [55]).

Cf. xv. 76, and n. 1998. The tract where they lay is situated on the highway to Syria where the Arab caravans travelled regularly, "by day and by night". Could not future generations learn wisdom from the destruction of those who did wrong?
