وَكَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْنٍ هُمْ أَحْسَنُ أَثَٰثًا وَرِءْيًا
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideMaryam is Meccan, dated to the middle Meccan period. It is reported that Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, among the Muslims who emigrated to Abyssinia, recited from this surah before the Negus. Its measured account of Mary and Jesus has been seen as fitting that encounter with a Christian ruler.
