6:42
وَلَقَدْ
أَرْسَلْنَا
إِلَى
أُمَمٍ
مِّن
قَبْلِكَ
فَأَخَذْنَاهُم
بِالْبَأْسَاءِ
وَالضَّرَّاءِ
لَعَلَّهُمْ
يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
wa-la-qad ʾarsalnā ʾilā ʾumamin min qablika fa-ʾakhadhnāhum bi-l-baʾsāʾi wa-ḍ-ḍarrāʾi laʿallahum yataḍarraʿūna
We had sent (Our guidance) to the nations who lived before you and afflicted them with distress and adversity so that they might submit themselves (to God).
