9:97
الأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرا ً وَنِفَاقا ً وَأَجْدَرُ أَلاَّ يَعْلَمُوا حُدُودَ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِه ِِ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيم ٌ
Al-'A`rābu 'Ashaddu Kufrāan Wa Nifāqāan Wa 'Ajdaru 'Allā Ya`lamū Ĥudūda Mā 'Anzala Allāhu `Alá Rasūlihi Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Ĥakīmun
The Nomads are the worst in rejection and hypocrisy, and more likely not to know the boundaries of what God has sent down upon His messenger. God is Knower, Wise.

18:77
فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَيَا أَهْلَ قَرْيَة ٍ اسْتَطْعَمَا أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارا ً يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَه ُُ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لاَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرا ً
Fānţalaqā Ĥattá 'Idhā 'Atayā 'Ahla Qaryatin Astaţ`amā 'Ahlahā Fa'abaw 'An YuĐayyifūhumā Fawajadā Fīhā Jidārāan Yurīdu 'An YanqaĐĐa Fa'aqāmahu Qāla Law Shi'ta Lāttakhadhta `Alayhi 'Ajrāan
So they ventured forth until they came to the people of a town. They requested food from its people but they refused to host them. Then they found a wall which was close to collapsing, so he built it. He said: "If you had wished, you could have asked a wage for it!"
18:82
وَأَمَّا الْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلاَمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَه ُُ كَنز ٌ لَهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَالِحا ً فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَا أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَة ً مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَمَا فَعَلْتُه ُُ عَنْ أَمْرِي ذَلِكَ تَأْوِيلُ مَا لَمْ تَسْطِعْ عَلَيْهِ صَبْرا ً
Wa 'Ammā Al-Jidāru Fakāna Lighulāmayni Yatīmayni Fī Al-Madīnati Wa Kāna Taĥtahu Kanzun Lahumā Wa Kāna 'Abūhumā Şāliĥāan Fa'arāda Rabbuka 'An Yablughā 'Ashuddahumā Wa Yastakhrijā Kanzahumā Raĥmatan Min Rabbika Wa Mā Fa`altuhu `An 'Amrī Dhālika Ta'wīlu Mā Lam Tasţi` `Alayhi Şabrāan
"And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphaned boys in the city, and underneath it was a treasure for them, and their father was a good man, so your Lord wanted that they reach their independence and bring out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And none of what I have done was of my own accord. That is the meaning of what you could not have patience for."
59:14
لاَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعا ً إِلاَّ فِي قُرى ً مُحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ جُدُر ٍ بَأْسُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيد ٌ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعا ً وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّى ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْم ٌ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ
Lā Yuqātilūnakum Jamī`āan 'Illā Fī Quráan Muĥaşşanatin 'Aw Min Warā'i Judurin Ba'suhum Baynahum Shadīdun Taĥsabuhum Jamī`āan Wa Qulūbuhum Shattá Dhālika Bi'annahum Qawmun Lā Ya`qilūna
They will not fight you all together unless they are in fortified towns, or from behind walls. Their might appears formidable among themselves. You would think that they are united, but their hearts are divided. This is because they are people who do not comprehend.
