Al-A'raf 7:96 ولو ان اهل القرى امنوا واتقوا لفتحنا عليهم بركات من السماء والارض ولاكن كذبوا فاخذناهم بما كانوا يكسبون ٩٦
وَلَوْ
اَنَّ
اَهْلَ
الْقُرٰۤی
اٰمَنُوْا
وَاتَّقَوْا
لَفَتَحْنَا
عَلَیْهِمْ
بَرَكٰتٍ
مِّنَ
السَّمَآءِ
وَالْاَرْضِ
وَلٰكِنْ
كَذَّبُوْا
فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ
بِمَا
كَانُوْا
یَكْسِبُوْنَ

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allāh, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.1
