History
And remember when your Lord declared that He would send against them others who would afflict them with severe torment until the Day of Judgment.
2:66And We made it an example to their own and to succeeding generations, and an admonition to the Allah-fearing.
7:167And (remember) when thy Lord proclaimed that He would raise against them till the Day of Resurrection those who would lay on them a cruel torment. Lo! verily thy Lord is swift in prosecution and lo! verily He is Forgiving, Merciful.
