There was a sign for the people of Sheba, too, in their dwelling place: two gardens, one on the right, one on the left: ‘Eat from what your Lord has provided for you and give Him thanks, for your land is good, and your Lord most forgiving.’ But they paid no heed, so We let loose on them a flood from the dam and replaced their two gardens with others that yielded bitter fruit, tamarisk bushes, and a few lote trees.* In this way We punished them for their ingratitude— would We punish anyone but the ungrateful? Also, We had placed, between them and the towns We had blessed , other towns within sight of one another to which they could travel easily—‘ Travel safely in this land by night and by day’— but [still] they complained , ‘Our Lord has made the distance between our staging posts so long!’ They wronged themselves and, in the end, We made their fate a byword, and scattered them in countless fragments. There truly are signs in this for every patient, thankful person. Satan was proved right in his opinion of them, for they all followed him— except for a group of believers— even though he had no authority over them. But [We aim] to distinguish those who believe in the life to come from those who doubt it: [Prophet], your Lord observes everything. —(Saba’) SHEBA 34:15 - 34:21 #Quran
*Lote tree: a thorny tree, also known as Christ-thorn, with edible fruit.
