26:9.
29:45.
Commentary:
Compare this verse with v. 76 where the word متوسمین (those who can read signs) is used in place of مومنین (believers). In the former case the story referred to was that of Lot. The bearing it had upon the life and career of the Holy Prophet could be noticed and understood only by men who possessed comparatively greater intelligence and insight. Therefore, the word متوسمین was used in v. 76. But as the ruined city lay on a public highway, any God-fearing person who passed by that way could, by seeing its ruins, ponder over its history and profit by the lesson it taught. This is why the word مومنین (believers) has been used in the present verse.
