ஆனால் அவர்கள் (இப்போதனையைப்) புறக்கணித்தார்கள்; ஆகவே, அல் அரிம் (என்னும் பெரும் அணையை உடைக்கும்) கடும் பிரவாகத்தை அவர்கள் மீது அனுப்பினோம், இன்னும் (சுவை மிக்க கனிகளைக் கொண்ட) அவர்களுடைய இரு தோப்புகளை கசப்பும் புளிப்புமுள்ள பழங்களுடைய மரங்களும், சில இலந்தை மரங்களும் உடைய இரு தோட்டங்களாக மாற்றினோம்.
