Fussílat 41:50 ولين اذقناه رحمة منا من بعد ضراء مسته ليقولن هاذا لي وما اظن الساعة قايمة ولين رجعت الى ربي ان لي عنده للحسنى فلننبين الذين كفروا بما عملوا ولنذيقنهم من عذاب غليظ ٥٠

And if in fact I am returned to my Lord, the finest reward with Him will definitely be mine.” But We will surely inform the disbelievers of what they used to do. And We will certainly make them taste a harsh torment.
