Al-A’ráf 7:95 ثم بدلنا مكان السيية الحسنة حتى عفوا وقالوا قد مس اباءنا الضراء والسراء فاخذناهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون ٩٥
ثُمَّ
بَدَّلۡنَا
مَكَانَ
ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ
ٱلۡحَسَنَةَ
حَتَّىٰ
عَفَواْ
وَّقَالُواْ
قَدۡ
مَسَّ
ءَابَآءَنَا
ٱلضَّرَّآءُ
وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ
فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم
بَغۡتَةٗ
وَهُمۡ
لَا
يَشۡعُرُونَ

Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease."1 So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.2
