Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَ رَبّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـلِمِينَ- فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَـوَمُونَ- قَالُواْ يوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـغِينَ- عَسَى رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْراً مّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَى رَبّنَا رغِبُونَ- كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الاْخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُ

Read in Context

Chapter 68, Page 565, Juz 29

17. We have tried them as We tried the owners of a certain garden, who swore that they would harvest its fruits in the morning 18. and made no allowance [for the Will of God]: 19. a disaster from your Lord struck the garden as they slept 20. and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land. 21. Still they called each other at daybreak, 22. ‘Go early to your field if you wish to gather all its fruits,’ 23. and went off, whispering, 24. ‘Make sure no poor person enters the garden today!’–– 25. they left early, bent on their purpose- 26. but when they saw the garden, they said, ‘We must have lost our way! 27. No- we are ruined!’ 28. The wisest of them said, ‘Did I not say to you, “Will you not glorify God?”’- 29. they said, ‘Glory be to God, Our Lord! Truly, we were doing wrong!’- 30. and then they turned to each other in mutual reproach. 31. They said, ‘Alas for us! We have done terrible wrong, 32. but maybe our Lord will give us something better in its place: we truly turn to Him in hope.’ 33. Such is the punishment [in this life], but greater still is the punishment in the Hereafter, if only they knew.
