43:23
وَ كَ ذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْ نَا مِن قَبْلِ كَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُو هَآ إِنَّ ا وَجَدْ نَآ ءَابَآءَ نَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَ إِنَّ ا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِ هِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
6:90
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ فَ بِ هُدَىٰ هُمُ ٱقْتَدِهْ قُل لَّآ أَسْـَٔلُ كُمْ عَلَيْ هِ أَجْرًا إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِ لْ عَٰلَمِينَ
Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds."
