Qur'an 71:28 Nuh
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًۭا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
Saheeh International
What it says
The surah ends on a prayer that widens in rings: himself, his parents, whoever came into his house believing, then every believing man and woman without limit of time or place. The last clause turns back and repeats verse 24 with a heavier word. Tabar is destruction that leaves nothing standing.
