Qarun said to his people who exhorted him: "Only I was given these treasures by what is with me of the knowledge and the power," has Qarun then not known that Allah had surely destroyed from before him from the nations who was more intense than him in might, and more in gathering for the riches? and the criminals are not asked about their sins; because of the knowledge of Allah the Exalted by it, only they are asked a question of rebuke and confirmation, and Allah punishes them on what He knew from them.
