The Holy Quran 7:162 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَظْلِمُونَ

Translation

So the oppressors from among them changed the words to what was not told to them (they changed the word "Hitta" meaning "forgiveness" to "Hinta", meaning "wheat") so We sent to them a punishment (a plague) from the skies because of their wrongdoing (their treachery and haughtiness).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

These events are those of “the valley of Tih” (the Wilderness of Wandering), which have already been described in Surah Al-Baqarah after the first quarter of the juz (one of the thirty parts of the Quran) “Alif Lam Mim”; the details should be consulted in the notes there.
