quran:26:137 –

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

This, that you threaten us with, is merely the fabrication of the ancients, that is, their inventions and lies (a variant reading ˹for khalq, ‘fabrication’˺ is khuluq, ‘ethos’, in other words, this denial of resurrection to which we adhere is merely ‘the ethos of the ancients’, in other words, their nature and wont);
القرآن:٢٦:١٣٧ –

إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا خُلُقُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

{إن} ما {هذا} الذي خوفنا به {إلا خَلْق الأولين} اختلافهم وكذبهم وفي قراءة بضم الخاء واللام أي ما هذا الذي نحن عليه من إنكار للبعث إلا خلق الأولين أي طبيعتهم وعادتهم.
