11:102
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَآ أَخَذَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَهِىَ ظَـٰلِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُۥٓ أَلِيمٌۭ شَدِيدٌ ١٠٢
Even thus is the grasp of thy Lord when He graspeth the townships while they are doing wrong. Lo! His grasp is painful, very strong.
And thus is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
Such is the seizing of your Lord that when He does seize the towns immersed in wrong-doing, His seizing is painful, terrible.
يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: وَكَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا أُولَئِكَ الْقُرُونَ الظَّالِمَةَ الْمُكَذِّبَةَ لِرُسُلِنَا كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِنَظَائِرِهِمْ وَأَشْبَاهِهِمْ وَأَمْثَالِهِمْ، ﴿إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ﴾ وَفِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "إِنَّ اللَّهَ ليُملي لِلظَّالِمِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفلته"، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: ﴿وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ﴾ [[صحيح البخاري برقم (٤٦٨٦) وصحيح مسلم برقم (٢٥٨٣) .]] .
