Ayah: 18

قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا تَطَيَّرۡنَا بِكُمۡۖ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهُواْ لَنَرۡجُمَنَّكُمۡ وَلَيَمَسَّنَّكُم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

18. They said (to the messengers of God): "We consider you an evil omen for us5. If you do not desist (calling us to the Oneness of God), we shall certainly stone you, and there will touch you a painful torment from us."

5. Muhammad, God's Messenger said: "There is no passing of disease except with God's Permission, nor is there any bad omen (whether from men or) from birds, nor is there any bad omen in Safar (or in any month). Whenever any of you sees something he assumes as bad omen, he should pray: ‘O Allāh, my Lord, none but You bring good things. None but you prevent evil things. There is no power and no strength except in You."
