Al-A'raaf • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءَالَ فِرْعَوْنَ بِٱلسِّنِينَ وَنَقْصٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴾
“And most certainly did We overwhelm Pharaoh's people with drought and scarcity of fruits, so that they might take it to heart.”
(And We straitened Pharaoh's folk with famine) and hunger, year after year (and the dearth of fruits) the disappearance of fruits, (that peradventure they might heed) that they might take admonition.
