Surah Saba, ayah 19

34:19

فَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا بَٰعِدۡ بَيۡنَ أَسۡفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقۡنَٰهُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٖ شَكُورٖ ١٩

Faqālū rabbanā bā'id bayna asfārinā wazalamū anfusahum faja'alnāhum ahādītha wamazzaqnāhum kulla mumazzaqin inna fī dhālika la'āyātil likulli sabbārin shakūr

But [insolently] they said, "Our Lord, lengthen the distance between our journeys," and wronged themselves, so We made them narrations1227 and dispersed them in total dispersion. Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.
