He said, "O my people, why are you impatient for evil before [i.e, instead of] good? Why do you not seek forgiveness of Allah that you may receive mercy?" They said, "We consider you a bad omen, you and those with you." He said, "Your omen [i.e, fate] is with Allah. Rather, you are people being tested." And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs].
THE QUR'AN, an-Nami 27:46-48
