Surah Az-Zukhruf Ayah 33

وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ

In Saheeh International's English translation, Quran 43:33 says: “And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers],<sup foot_note=197327>1</sup> We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount.”
