فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا بَاعِدْ بَیْنَ اَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ اَحَادٖیثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍؕ اِنَّ فٖی ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ
Faqaloo rabbana baAAid bayna asfarina wathalamoo anfusahum fajaAAalnahum ahadeetha wamazzaqnahum kulla mumazzaqin inna fee thalika laayatin likulli sabbarin shakoorin
Translations
But [insolently] they said, "Our Lord, lengthen the distance between our journeys," and wronged themselves, so We made them narrations and dispersed them in total dispersion. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful
Saheeh International
But they said: Our Lord! Make the stage between our journeys longer. And they wronged themselves, therefore We made them bywords (in the land) and scattered them abroad, a total scattering. Lo! herein verily are portents for each steadfast, grateful (heart)
