Surah Al-Ankabut (29:40)

فَكُلًّا اَخَذۡنَا بِذَنۡۢبِهٖ ۚ فَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ حَاصِبًا ۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَخَذَتۡهُ الصَّيۡحَةُ ۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ خَسَفۡنَا بِهِ الۡاَرۡضَ ۚ وَمِنۡهُمۡ مَّنۡ اَغۡرَقۡنَا ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَـظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلٰـكِنۡ كَانُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُوۡنَ‏ ۝

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast from the sky, and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.
