Chapter : Pertaining to the words of Allah: “Nay, but verily man is inordinate, because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient”.

Ka’b reported that the words of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious: “We will, surely, make them taste the lesser punishment before the severer punishment (that haply they may return)” (xxxii. 21) imply the torments of the world.
