Ayat No. 42

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَاۤ اِلٰۤى اُمَمٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْبَاْسَآءِ وَ الضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَضَرَّعُوْنَ(۴۲)

And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us].

Ayat No. 43

فَلَوْ لَاۤ اِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَاْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوْا وَ لٰكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۴۳)

Translation

Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

فَلَمَّا نَسُوْا مَا ذُكِّرُوْا بِهٖ فَتَحْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ اَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَیْءٍؕ-حَتّٰۤى اِذَا فَرِحُوْا بِمَاۤ اُوْتُوْۤا اَخَذْنٰهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَاِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُوْنَ(۴۴)

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, which deity other than Allah could bring them [back] to you?" Look how we diversify the verses; then they [still] turn away.

Ayat No. 50

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌۚ-اِنْ اَتَّبِـعُ اِلَّا مَا یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّؕ-قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُؕ-اَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ۠(۵۰)

Translation

Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Is the blind equivalent to the seeing? Then will you not give thought?"
