Transliteration:( 'A ulqiyaz zikru 'alaihi min baininaa bal huwa kazzaabun ashir )
"Has the reminder been revealed upon him from all among us? No, rather he (Nuh) is a boasting liar."
The people of Thamud claimed that they were more entitled to prophethood due to their superior strength and wealth compared to Hazrat Nuh (AS). They believed that if a prophet were to come from among them, it should have been someone with greater material wealth and strength, as they saw these traits as indicators of worthiness.
This statement reflects the arrogance of the disbelievers. They accused Hazrat Nuh (AS) of being a liar and a boastful person, simply because he was not from their ranks. Their rejection was rooted in their desire for power and material gain, showing that the infidels have historically harbored negative thoughts about prophets, seeing them as rivals for wealth and leadership.
