كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْه ٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئا ً وَهُوَ خَيْر ٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئا ً وَهُوَ شَرّ ٌ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Warfare has been decreed for you while you hate it; and perhaps you may hate something while it is good for you, and perhaps you may love something while it is bad for you; and God knows while you do not know.
3:180
وَلاَ يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه ِِ هُوَ خَيْرا ً لَهُمْ بَلْ هُوَ شَرّ ٌ لَهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِه ِِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِير ٌ

And let not those who are stingy with what God has given them of His bounty think that it is good for them, no, it is evil for them. They will be surrounded by what they were stingy with on the Day of Resurrection. And to God will be the inheritance of the heavens and the earth; and God is Expert over what you do.
5:60
قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرّ ٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَالْخَنَازِيرَ وَعَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ أُوْلَائِكَ شَرّ ٌ مَكَانا ً وَأَضَلُّ عَنْ سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ

Say: "Shall I inform you of worse than this as a punishment from God? Those whom God cursed and became angry at them, and He made from them apes and pigs and servants of evil. Those have a worse place and are more astray from the right path."
5:60

'Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi `Inda Allāhi Aş-Şummu Al-Bukmu Al-Ladhīna Lā Ya`qilūna
The worst creatures with God are the deaf and dumb who do not comprehend.
8:55
إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ
'Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi `Inda Allāhi Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Fahum Lā Yu'uminūna
The worst creatures to God are those who reject, for they do not believe.
10:11
وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ الشَّرَّ اسْتِعْجَالَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْ فَنَذَرُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Wa Law Yu`ajjilu Allāhu Lilnnāsi Ash-Sharra Asti`jālahum Bil-Khayri LaquĐiya 'Ilayhim 'Ajaluhum Fanadharu Al-Ladhīna Lā Yarjūna Liqā'anā Fī Ţughyānihim Ya`mahūna
And if God hastened for the people the evil as He hastens for them the good, then they would have been ruined. We thus leave those who do not wish to meet Us wandering in their transgression.
12:77
قَالُوا إِنْ يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخ ٌ لَه ُُ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِي نَفْسِه ِِ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ شَرّ ٌ مَكَانا ً وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ
Qālū 'In Yasriq Faqad Saraqa 'Akhun Lahu Min Qablu Fa'asarrahā Yūsufu Fī Nafsihi Wa Lam Yubdihā Lahum Qāla 'Antum Sharrun Makānāan Wa Allāhu 'A`lamu Bimā Taşifūna
They said: "If he has stolen, there was a brother of his before who also had stolen." Joseph kept this all inside himself, and did not reveal anything to them. He said: "You are in an awkward position, and God best knows what you describe."
17:11
وَيَدْعُ الإِنسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاءَه ُُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَكَانَ الإِنسَانُ عَجُولا ً
Wa Yad`u Al-'Insānu Bish-Sharri Du`ā'ahu Bil-Khayri Wa Kāna Al-'Insānu `Ajūlāan
And man calls to evil as much as he calls to good, and man was always hasty.
17:83
وَإِذَا أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الإِنسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَأَى بِجَانِبِه ِِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَئُوسا ً
Wa 'Idhā 'An`amnā `Alá Al-'Insāni 'A`raĐa Wa Na'á Bijānibihi Wa 'Idhā Massahu Ash-Sharru Kāna Ya'ūsāan
And if We bless man, he turns away and turns his side. But when adversity touches him, he is despairing!
19:75
قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلاَلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ مَدّاً حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرّ ٌ مَكَانا ً وَأَضْعَفُ جُندا ً
Qul Man Kāna Fī AĐ-Đalālati Falyamdud Lahu Ar-Raĥmānu Maddāan Ĥattá 'Idhā Ra'aw Mā Yū`adūna 'Immā Al-`Adhāba Wa 'Immā As-Sā`ata Fasaya`lamūna Man Huwa Sharrun Makānāan Wa 'AĐ`afu Jundāan
Say: "Whoever is in misguidance, then the Almighty will lead them on." Until they see what they have been promised, either the retribution or the Hour. Then they will know who is in a worse place and weaker in power.
21:35
كُلُّ نَفْس ٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَة ً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
Kullu Nafsin Dhā'iqatu Al-Mawti Wa Nablūkum Bish-Sharri Wa Al-Khayri Fitnatan Wa 'Ilaynā Turja`ūna
Every soul will taste death. And We burden you with evil and good as a test, and it is to Us that you will return.
22:72
وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَات ٍ تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنْكَرَ يَكَادُونَ يَسْطُونَ بِالَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِنَا قُلْ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرّ ٍ مِنْ ذَلِكُمُ النَّارُ وَعَدَهَا اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ

And if Our clear revelations are recited to them, you see denial in the faces of those who have rejected. They are nearly close to attacking those who are reciting to them Our revelations! Say: "Shall I inform you of what is worse than this? The Fire, which God has promised to those who have rejected. What a miserable destiny!"
24:11
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالإِفْكِ عُصْبَة ٌ مِنْكُمْ لاَ تَحْسَبُوه ُُ شَرّا ً لَكُمْ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْر ٌ لَكُمْ لِكُلِّ امْرِئ ٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الإِثْمِ وَالَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَه ُُ مِنْهُمْ لَه ُُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيم ٌ

Those who have brought forth the false accusation were a group from among you. Do not think it is bad for you, for it is good for you. Every person among them will have what he deserves of the sin. And as for he who had the greatest portion of it, he will have a great retribution.
25:34
الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَائِكَ شَرّ ٌ مَكَانا ً وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلا ً
Al-Ladhīna Yuĥsharūna `Alá Wujūhihim 'Ilá Jahannama 'Ūlā'ika Sharrun Makānāan Wa 'AĐallu Sabīlāan
Those who will be gathered to Hell on their faces, these are the most evil and the most strayed from the path.
38:55

Hādhā Wa 'Inna Lilţţāghīna Lasharra Ma'ābin
This is so, and for the transgressors is a miserable destiny.
38:62
وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا لاَ نَرَى رِجَالا ً كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الأَشْرَار
Wa Qālū Mā Lanā Lā Nará Rijālāan Kunnā Na`udduhum Mina Al-'Ashrār
And they said: "Why do we not see some men whom we used to count among the wicked?"
41:49
لاَ يَسْأَمُ الإِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَاءِ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنْ مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَئُوس ٌ قَنُوط ٌ
Lā Yas'amu Al-'Insānu Min Du`ā'i Al-Khayri Wa 'In Massahu Ash-Sharru Faya'ūsun Qanūţun
Man does not tire in praying for good things. But if adversity touches him, he is disheartened, desperate!
41:51
وَإِذَا أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَأى بِجَانِبِه ِِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَاءٍ عَرِيض ٍ
Wa 'Idhā 'An`amnā `Alá Al-'Insāni 'A`raĐa Wa Na'á Bijānibihi Wa 'Idhā Massahu Ash-Sharru Fadhū Du`ā'in `ArīĐin

'Idhā Massahu Ash-Sharru Jazū`āan
When adversity touches him he is miserable.

Wa 'Annā Lā Nadrī 'Asharrun 'Urīda Biman Fī Al-'ArĐi 'Am 'Arāda Bihim Rabbuhum Rashadāan
And we do not know, is it evil that is intended for those on the earth, or does their Lord want them to be guided?
76:7
يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوْما ً كَانَ شَرُّه ُُ مُسْتَطِيرا ً
Yūfūna Bin-Nadhri Wa Yakhāfūna Yawmāan Kāna Sharruhu Mustaţīrāan
They fulfill their vows, and they fear a Day whose consequences are wide-spread.

فَوَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّاهُمْ نَضْرَة ً وَسُرُورا ً
Fawaqāhumu Allāhu Sharra Dhālika Al-Yawmi Wa Laqqāhum NaĐratan Wa Surūrāan
So God shielded them from the evil of that Day, and He cast towards them a look and a smile.
98:6
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أُوْلَائِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ
