29 Al-Ankabut(العنكبوت), Ayah 40

فَكُلًّا أَخَذْنَا بِذَنْبِهِ ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِبًا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَغْرَقْنَا ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ 40 ٤٠

Tafsir

( فكلا أخذنا بذنبه فمنهم من أرسلنا عليه حاصبا ) وهم قوم لوط ، " والحاصب " : الريح التي تحمل الحصباء ، وهي الحصا الصغار ( ومنهم من أخذته الصيحة ) يعني ثمود ، ( ومنهم من خسفنا به الأرض ) يعني قارون وأصحابه ( ومنهم من أغرقنا ) يعني : قوم نوح ، وفرعون وقومه ( وما كان الله ليظلمهم ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمون ) .

So I seized each one of those mentioned above with My destructive punishment. Amongst them were the people of Lot on whom I sent down stones of baked clay. Amongst them were the people of Salih and the people of Shuaib who were overcome by a sudden blast. Amongst them was Qarun whom I sunk into the earth together with his property. Amongst them were the people of Noah and Pharaoh and Haman whom I destroyed by drowning. It was not Allah who wronged them by destroying them for no sin; but they wronged themselves by committing sin and thus were deserving of the punishment.
