Ayah: 59

فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوۡلًا غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمۡ فَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رِجۡزٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ

59. But those who were unjust changed it for a saying other than that which they had been told21, so We sent down on those who were unjust a plague from the sky for their obstinate disobedience.

21. To do and say, but they entered it dragging themselves on their rears, saying, ‘A grain in a hair, instead of 'forgive us of our sins’, mocking Allah’s command. So God punished them because of their disobedience to Him with a plague from the sky, by which seventy thousand of them died.
