6:43
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And indeed We sent Messengers to peoples before thee; then We afflicted them with poverty and adversity that they might humble themselves.

And indeed We sent Messengers to peoples before thee; then [b]We afflicted them with poverty and adversity that they might humble themselves.[789]
7:95.
Commentary:
The previous verses referred to Divine punishment in general. In this verse its various forms have been mentioned. Many have an erroneous idea of Divine punishment, which not unoften comes veiled in the form of ordinary afflictions. In fact, all financial and bodily misfortunes, e.g. poverty, disease, etc. are in one sense or another, punishments from God. They are not generally meant to destroy men but to make them reform themselves and turn to God.
