wa-sʾalhum ʿani l-qaryati llatī kānat ḥāḍirata l-baḥri ʾidh yaʿdūna s-sabti ʾidh taʾtīhim ḥītānuhum yawma sabtihim shurraʿan wa-yawma yasbitūna taʾtīhim ka-dhālika nablūhum bi-mā kānū yafsuqūna

Ask them about the town that was situated on the seaside, when they violated the Sabbath, when their fish would come to them on the Sabbath day, visibly on the shore, but on days when they were not keeping Sabbath they would not come to them. Thus did We test them because of the transgressions they used to commit.
