| Arberry | We sent not forth any before thee, but men We revealed to of the people living in the cities. Have they not journeyed in the land?

| Shakir | And We have not sent before you but men from (among) the people of the towns, to whom We sent revelations.

| Sarwar | The Messengers whom We sent before you were mere men of the people of the towns. We gave them revelations.

Will you not then take heed?. |

| Malik | All the Messengers that We sent before you, O Muhammad, were human beings, to whom We sent Our Revelations after choosing them from the people of their town.

From their destiny you should know that the home of the hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Why don’t you understand?[109] |
| QXP | And even before your time, We never sent (as Our Messengers) but men to whom We revealed Our Messages. We always chose them from among the people of their own communities.

Will they not then, use reason? |

| Asad | And [even] before thy time, We never sent [as Our apostles] any but [mortal] men, whom We inspired, [and whom We always chose] from among the people of the [very] communities [to whom the message was to be brought]. 105 Hav6, then, they [who reject this divine writ] never journeyed about the earth and beheld what happened in the end to those [deniers of the truth] who lived before them?-and [do they not know that] to those who are conscious of God the life in the hereafter is indeed better [than this world]?
