فكلا اخذنا بذنبه فمنهم من ارسلنا عليه حاصبا ومنهم من اخذته الصيحة ومنهم من خسفنا به الارض ومنهم من اغرقنا وما كان الله ليظلمهم ولكن كانوا انفسهم يظلمون

Each one of them We seized For his crime: of them, Against some We sent A violent tornado (with showers Of stones); some were caught By a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth To swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not God Who Injured (or oppressed) them: They injured (and oppressed) Their own souls.
