وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِي قَرۡيَةٖ مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّآ أَخَذۡنَآ أَهۡلَهَا بِٱلۡبَأۡسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَضَّرَّعُونَ

Wa maaa arsalnaa fee qaryatim min Nabiyyin illaaa akhaznaaa ahlahaa bil ba'saaa'i waddarraaa'i la'allahum yaddarra'oon

Whenever We sent a prophet to a town, We took up its people in suffering and adversity, in order that they might learn humility.

— Al-A'raf (ٱلْأَعْرَاف), 7:94
