Recite to them, as a case in point, the story of the people of the town when the Messengers came to them. - Abul Ala Maududi (English)
36:14
إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ

36:17

Another Sign for them is that We carried all their offspring in the laden vessel - Abul Ala Maududi (English)
36:42
