Koran 6:42 — soera Al-An'am, vers 42

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَأَخَذۡنَٰهُم بِٱلۡبَأۡسَآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

Waarlijk, Wij hebben aan vele volkeren vóór jullie (boodschappers) gestuurd voor jou. En Wij hebben hen met buitengewone schade en (bijv. verlies in gezondheid) met rampen, zodat zij zich in nederigheid gaan opstellen.

And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muhammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us]
