An-Nisa 4:97 ان الذين توفاهم الملايكة ظالمي انفسهم قالوا فيم كنتم قالوا كنا مستضعفين في الارض قالوا الم تكن ارض الله واسعة فتهاجروا فيها فاولايك ماواهم جهنم وساءت مصيرا ٩٧

ٱلَّذِينَ
تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ
ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ
ظَالِمِيٓ
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
قَالُواْ
فِيمَ
كُنتُمۡۖ

كُنَّا
مُسۡتَضۡعَفِينَ
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ
قَالُوٓاْ
أَلَمۡ
تَكُنۡ
أَرۡضُ
ٱللَّهِ
وَٰسِعَةٗ
فَتُهَاجِرُواْ
فِيهَاۚ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ
جَهَنَّمُۖ
وَسَآءَتۡ
مَصِيرًا

Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination!1
