فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ قَوۡلًا غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمۡ فَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رِجۡزٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡسُقُونَ

But the wrongdoers changed the words to other than what they were told[1]; so We sent down upon the wrongdoers a torment from the heaven for their rebelliousness.
Notes
[1] They were asked to seek forgiveness. The word is hittah, which means: to put down a burden, but they twisted their tongues to mean ‘wheat’, hintah (in a Hadith reported by al-Bukhārī and Muslim, they said, ‘A grain in a hair’).
