Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
quran:6:131 –

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.

That, sending of the messengers, is because (an, ˹phonetically˺ lightened, with the lām ˹of li-annahu˺ implied, thus ˹read as˺ li-annahu, ‘because’) your Lord would never destroy the towns through injustice, on their part, while their inhabitants were heedless, not having had any Messenger to make ˹things˺ clear to them.

القرآن:٦:١٣١ –

ذَٰلِكَ أَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُونَ

{ذلك} أي إرسال الرسل {أن} اللام مقدرة وهي مخففة أي لأنه {لم يكن ربَّك مهلك القرى بظلم} منها {وأهلها غافلون} لم يرسل إليهم رسول يبين لهم؟.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ

{وما كان ربك ليهلك القرى بظلم} منه لها {وأهلها مصلحون} مؤمنون.
