Fushshilat · Ayah 17 · Juz 24 · Page 478

وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيۡنَٰهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمۡ صَٰعِقَةُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡهُونِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٧

Wa ammā thamūdu fahadaynāhum fastaḥabbul-ʿamā ʿalal-hudā fa akhadhathum ṣāʿiqatul-ʿadhābil-hūni bimā kānū yaksibūn.

And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.
