وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنْ قَرْنٍ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا
And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound? (98)
أَوْ تَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ رِكْزًا
"Or hear from them even a whisper" - Maryam 19:98 ⧉.
The word means a faint, unintelligible sound such as a death-rattle. The meaning of the verse is that there have been many kings who ruled vast empires, exercised unlimited authority and lived in great splendor, but when the wrath of Allah caught upon them for their sinful acts, they were annihilated in such a manner that not even a whisper or a feeble motion is now being heard of them.
