The Holy Quran 23:44 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا ۖ كُلَّ مَا جَآءَ أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ ۚ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ ۚ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Translation

Thereafter We sent Our Rusul in succession. Whenever a Rasool came to his nation (preaching Towheed and Risaalah), they rejected him. So We brought one nation after the other (that was destroyed) and made them mere fables (only to be spoken about). May the nations without Imaan be distanced (from Allaah's mercy) !

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The unbroken succession of messengers: that is, He sent messengers in an unbroken line, one prophet after another, and among the deniers too He kept dispatching one after another. On one side there was a queue of prophets being sent, on the other a queue of those being destroyed.
