قَدْ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ Qur’an Az-Zumar (39:50)

Qad q a lah a alla th eena min qablihim fam a aghn a AAanhum m a k a noo yaksiboon a

The same did say [to themselves many of] those who lived before their time; but of no avail to them was all that they had ever achieved:

- Mohammad Asad

The same was said by those who passed before them, but they gained nothing from what they did

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

The same had already been said by those 'destroyed' before them,¹ but their 'worldly' gains were of no benefit to them.

- Mustafa Khattab

Those before them said it, yet (all) that they had earned availed them not;

- Marmaduke Pickthall

Thus did the (generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.

- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
