Verse 45of 78
فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌۭ فَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍۢ مُّعَطَّلَةٍۢ وَقَصْرٍۢ مَّشِيدٍ﴿٤٥﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
And how many a city did We destroy while it was committing wrong - so it is [now] fallen into ruin - and [how many] an abandoned well and [how many] a lofty palace.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Consequences for the DisbelieversHere Allah consoles His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for the disbelief of those among his people who opposed him.وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ(And if they deny you, so did deny before them the people of Nuh) until His saying,وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَى(and denied was Musa.) means, despite all the clear signs and evidence that they brought.
