The Holy Quran 7:133 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

Translation

So (to punish them) We sent to them the flood (the fifth miracle, which flooded their homes), the (plagues of) locusts (which ate up all their food and crops - the sixth miracle), the ticks (which infested their homes - the seventh miracle), the frogs (which they found everywhere, even in their utensils - the eighth miracle) and the blood (all their water turned to blood - the ninth miracle) as detailed Aayaat (to persuade them to mend their ways). However, they were an arrogant and a sinful nation (their sins increased and they did not learn their lesson).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Various punishments upon the people of Pharaoh: that is, a flood (tufan) of rain and inundation, or a “flood” of death through plague, according to the differing opinions. By قمل (qummal) are meant ticks, as the translator ﵀ has chosen, or lice, or the insect that infests wheat and other grain and spoils it.
