Az-Zukhruf 43:48

Wama nureehim min ayatin illahiya akbaru min okhtiha waakhathnahum bilAAathabilaAAallahum yarjiAAoon

And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].

And We did not show them a sign, but it used to be greater than the one that preceded it. And We seized them with punishment, so that they may return.
