Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:129

قَالُوٓا۟ أُوذِينَا مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَأْتِيَنَا وَمِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جِئْتَنَا قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُهْلِكَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَيَسْتَخْلِفَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ

qālū ūdhīnā min qabli an tatīanā wa-min baʿdi mā jitanā qalā ʿasā rabbukum an yuhlika ʿadūwakum wa-yastakhlifakum fī l-arḍi fa-yanẓura kayfa taʿmalūna

They said: "We have had (nothing but) trouble, both before and after thou camest to us." He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inheritors in the earth; that so He may try you by your deeds."

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:130

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

wa-la-qad akhadhnā āla firʿawna bil-sinīna wa-naqṣin mina l-thamarāti la-ʿallahum yadhdhakkarūna

We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops; that they might receive admonition.

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:131

فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا۟ لَنَا هَٰذِهِۦ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا۟ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّـهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

fa-idhā jāʾathumu l-ḥasanatu qālū la-nā hādhihi wa-in tuṣibhum sayyiʾatun yaṭṭayyarū bimūsa wa-man maʿahu āla innamā ṭāʾiruhum ʿinda allāhi wa-lākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūna

But when good (times) came, they said, "This is due to us;" When gripped by calamity, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens of evil are theirs in Allah's sight, but most of them do not understand!

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:132

وَقَالُوا۟ مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِهِۦ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

wa-qālū mahmā tatinā bihi min āyatin li-tasḥaranā bihā fa-mā naḥnu la-ka bi-mūʾminīna

They said (to Moses): "Whatever be the Signs thou bringest, to work therewith thy sorcery on us, we shall never believe in thee.

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:133

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

fa-arsalnā ʿalayhimu l-ṭūfāna wa-l-jarāda wa-l-qummala wa-l-ḍafādiʿa wa-l-dama āyātin mufaṣṣalātin fa-istakbarū wa-kānū qawman mujrimīna

So We sent (plagues) on them: Wholesale death, Locusts, Lice, Frogs, And Blood: Signs openly self-explained: but they were steeped in arrogance,- a people given to sin.

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:134

وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلرِّجْزُ قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَى ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ لَئِن كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا ٱلرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

wa-lammā waqaʿa ʿalayhimu l-rijzu qālū yā-musā idʿu la-nā rabbaka bi-mā ʿahida ʿindaka lain kashafta ʿannā l-rijza la-nuʾminanna la-ka wa-la-nursilanna maʿaka banī isrāʾīla

Every time the penalty fell on them, they said: "O Moses! on your behalf call on thy Lord in virtue of his promise to thee: If thou wilt remove the penalty from us, we shall truly believe in thee, and we shall send away the Children of Israel with thee."

Sura al-Aʿrāf 7:135

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلرِّجْزَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ هُم بَٰلِغُوهُ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ

fa-lammā kashafnā ʿanhumu l-rijza ila ajalin hum bālighūhu idhā hum yankuthūna

But every time We removed the penalty from them according to a fixed term which they had to fulfil,- Behold! they broke their word!
