Surah 7. Al-A'raf, Ayah 162
| فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ |

| Pickthall | : | But those of them who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for another saying, and We sent down upon them wrath from heaven for their wrongdoing. |
| Asad | : | But those among them who were bent on wrongdoing substituted another saying for that which they had been given: and so We let loose against them a plague from heaven in requital of all their evil doings128 |
| Malik | : | But the wicked among them changed that word which was said to them, as a result We sent down a scourge upon them from heaven for their wrong doings. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But the transgressors among them changed the word from that which had been given them; so We sent on them a plague from heaven for that they repeatedly transgressed. 1136 |

Note - 1136Cf. ii, 58-59, and n. 72. The story is here told by way
of parable for the times of Islam. Hence we have a few
verbal changes: e.g., "dwell in this town" instead of
"enter this town." etc.
