The Cattle - 6:43
If only they had supplicated when We afflicted them! But their hearts hardened, and Satan made their deeds appear to them as adornment.
Example:
The Cattle/6:42
And We sent messengers to the people before you, and We tested them with hardship and distress so that they might supplicate.
وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْـنَٓا اِلٰٓى اُمَمٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْبَأْسَٓاءِ وَالضَّرَّٓاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
The Cattle/6:43
If only they had supplicated when We afflicted them! But their hearts hardened, and Satan made their deeds appear to them as adornment.
فَلَوْلَٓا اِذْ جَٓاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلٰكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
The Heights/7:94
Whenever We sent a messenger to a land, We afflicted its people with hardship and distress so that they might beg.
وَمَٓا اَرْسَلْنَا ف۪ي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ اِلَّٓا اَخَذْنَٓا اَهْلَهَا بِالْبَأْسَٓاءِ وَالضَّرَّٓاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَضَّرَّعُونَ
The Heights/7:95
"Then We replaced evil with good. But they lost their understanding: They said: "Distress and prosperity touched our ancestors also". So We seized them suddenly without their knowledge."
ثُمَّ بَدَّلْنَا مَكَانَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْحَسَنَةَ حَتّٰى عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا قَدْ مَسَّ اٰبَٓاءَنَا الضَّرَّٓاءُ وَالسَّرَّٓاءُ فَاَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
The Heights/7:130
And We sentenced the party of Pharaoh to years of drought and famine so that they might be admonished.
وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَٓا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِالسِّن۪ينَ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
The Heights/7:131
"When good came to them, they used to say: "We deserved it", and when evil touched them, they used to accuse Moses and his companions of bad luck. Indeed, their bad luck is decided by Allah. But most of them do not know."
فَاِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا لَنَا هٰذِه۪ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا بِمُوسٰى وَمَنْ مَعَهُۜ اَلَٓا اِنَّمَا طَٓائِرُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
The Heights/7:132
"They said: "No matter how many miracles (signs) you bring to bewitch us, we will not believe you"."
وَقَالُوا مَهْمَا تَأْتِنَا بِه۪ مِنْ اٰيَةٍ لِتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَاۙ فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
The Heights/7:133
We sent upon them signs such as the flood, locusts, vermin, frogs and blood, but they continued to be arrogant and became a guilty people.
فَاَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَالْجَرَادَ وَالْقُمَّلَ وَالضَّفَادِعَ وَالدَّمَ اٰيَاتٍ مُفَصَّلَاتٍ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْماً مُجْرِم۪ينَ
The Heights/7:134
"Whenever a calamity befell them, they said, "O Moses, invoke your Lord for His promise to you. If you deliver us from this calamity, we will believe in you and send the Children of Israel with you."
وَلَمَّا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّجْزُ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَۚ لَئِنْ كَشَفْتَ عَنَّا الرِّجْزَ لَنُؤْمِنَنَّ لَكَ وَلَنُرْسِلَنَّ مَعَكَ بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓائ۪لَۚ
The Heights/7:136
So We took vengeance on them and drowned them in the sea because they denied Our Verses and paid no heed.
فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا عَنْهَا غَافِل۪ينَ
The Repentance/9:126
Do they not see that they are tested with calamities once or twice every year, yet they neither repent nor take admonition?
اَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ ف۪ي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَرَّةً اَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
The Believers/23:75
And even if We had pity on them and relieved them of their misery, they would still have wandered in their transgression.
وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِنْ ضُرٍّ لَلَجُّوا ف۪ي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
The Believers/23:76
Even though We punished them, they did not submit to their Lord, nor did they supplicate.
وَلَقَدْ اَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
