(5) CHAPTER. The Statement of Allah: “Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful and severe.” (V.11:102)
Narrated Abu Musa: Allah's Messenger said, Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He takes him over, He never releases him. Then he recited:-- Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes (population of) towns in the midst of their wrong: Painful indeed, and severe is His seizure.' (11.102)
