Hadith 31-46

[15] See the footnote for Qarun in Tradition No. 24-1

[16] He was the Prime Minister of Pharaoh. In Chapter al-Ankabut, after mentioning `Ad, Thamud, Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun, the Almighty God says, “(Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us). Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls.”[Qur’an, 29:39-40]. The one who was swallowed by the earth was Qarun, and those who were drowned were Pharaoh, Haman and their troops because they were sinful.
