وظللنا عليكم الغمام وانزلنا عليكم المن والسلوى كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم وما ظلمونا ولكن كانوا انفسهم يظلمون

And We gave you the shade of clouds And sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); To Us they did no harm, But they harmed their own souls.
