The Holy Quran 7:39 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

وَقَالَتْ أُولَىٰهُمْ لِأُخْرَىٰهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ

Translation

The former will (then) tell the latter (the followers), "You were no better than us (because you chose your course just as we did), so taste the punishment for your actions."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, what did you gain by asking for our punishment to be increased? Has your own punishment been lightened in the least? No, you too must taste [the fruits of] your own deeds.
