Quran 21:6 — The Prophets (Al-Anbya')

We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers?

[21:5] They even said, "Hallucinations," "He made it up," and, "He is a poet. Let him show us a miracle like those of the previous messengers."

[21:7] We did not send before you except men whom we inspired. Ask those who know the scripture, if you do not know.
