By their wrongdoing, with their disbelief and sins, He has not left upon it, meaning on the earth, any creature at all. And He would have destroyed them all by the evil of the wrongdoing of the wrongdoers. And from Abu Huraira: he heard a man saying: 'Indeed, the wrongdoer harms only himself.' He said: 'Yes, by Allah, even the houbara may die in its nest due to the wrongdoing of the wrongdoer.' [Narrated by al-Tabari and al-Bayhaqi in the forty-ninth chapter. In its chain is Muhammad ibn Jabir al-Tamami, and he is rejected.] And from Ibn Mas'ud: 'The beetle nearly perishes in its burrow due to the sin of the son of Adam.' [Narrated by Ibn Abi Shayba, al-Hakim, and al-Tabarani through Abu al-Ahwas. Ibn Mas'ud recited: 'And if Allah were to take the people to account...' and said: 'The beetle nearly suffers punishment in its burrow due to the sin of the son of Adam.'] Or from a wrongdoing creature. And from Ibn Abbas: 'From a creature of a polytheist that crawls upon it.' And it was said: 'If He had destroyed the fathers due to their disbelief, the children would not have existed.'
