Indeed, those who came with falsehood978 are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof979 - for him is a great punishment [i.e., Hellfire].
