I navodi Allah primjer naselja bezbjednog i spokojnog, dolazila mu je opskrba njegova obilno sa svakog mjesta, pa je bilo nezahvalno na blagodatima Allahovim - te je Allah dao da ono iskusi odjeću gladi i straha, zbog onog šta su radili.
And Allah presents an example: a city which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allah. So Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.
