وَقَارُوۡنَ وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَامٰنَ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ مُّوۡسٰى بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ فَاسۡتَكۡبَرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانُوۡا سٰبِقِيۡنَ ۖ ۚ

to them with Clear Signs but they waxed arrogant in the land although they could
not have outstripped67 (Us).

they had no power to frustrate and defeat Allah’s plans and schemes.”
