7:4How many a town have We destroyed? Our might came upon them by night, or while they were napping.

7:82And his people's only answer was to say, “Expel them from your town; they are purist people.”

7:88The arrogant elite among his people said, “O Shuaib, We will evict you from our town, along with those who believe with you, unless you return to our religion.” He said, “Even if we are unwilling?”

7:94We did not send any prophet to any town but We afflicted its people with misery and adversity, so that they may humble themselves.

7:96Had the people of the towns believed and turned righteous, We would have opened for them the blessings of the heaven and the earth; but they rejected the truth, so We seized them by what they were doing.

7:97Do the people of the towns feel secure that Our might will not come upon them by night, while they sleep?

7:98Do the people of the towns feel secure that Our might will not come upon them by day, while they play?

7:101These towns—We narrate to you some of their tales. Their messengers came to them with the clear signs, but they would not believe in what they had rejected previously. Thus God seals the hearts of the disbelievers.

7:161And it was said to them, “Settle this town, and eat therein whatever you wish, and speak modestly, and enter the gate in humility—We will forgive your sins, and will promote the righteous.”

7:163Ask them about the town by the sea, when they violated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, their fish would come to them abundantly. But when they violated the Sabbath, their fish would not come to them. Thus We tried them because they disobeyed.
