" Lo! We have tried them as We tried the owners of the garden when they vowed they would pluck its fruit next morning. And made no exception (for the will of God); then a visitation came upon it while they slept and in the morning it was as though plucked. And they cried out one to another in the morning, saying: Run to your field if you would pluck (the fruit). So they went off, saying one to another in low tones: No needy man shall enter it today against you. They went betimes, strong in (this) purpose. But when they saw it, they said: Lo! We are in error! Nay but we are desolate! The best among them said: Did I not say to you: Why glorify you not (God)? They said glorified be our Lord! Lo! We have been wrongdoers. Then some of them drew near to others, self-reproaching. They said: Alas for us! In truth we were outrageous. It may be that our Lord will give us better than this in place thereof. Lo! We beseech our Lord. Such was the punishment. And the punishment of the hereafter is greater if they did but know." The Pen 68:17-33.
