Surah Ali 'Imran — 3:151

سَنُلْقِى فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ٱلرُّعْبَ بِمَآ أَشْرَكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَـٰنًا ۖ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۚ وَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Sanulqee fee quloobil lazeena kafarur ru'ba bimaaa ashrakoo billaahi maa lam yunazzil bihee sultaana-nw wa maawaahumun Naar; wa bi'sa maswaz zaalimeen

ہم عنقریب کافروں کے دلوں میں تمہارا رعب بٹھا دیں گے کیونکہ یہ خدا کے ساتھ شرک کرتے ہیں جس کی اس نے کوئی بھی دلیل نازل نہیں کی اور ان کا ٹھکانہ دوزخ ہے وہ ظالموں کا بہت بُرا ٹھکانا ہے

Into the hearts of those who deny, we will cast terror, because they ascribed partners to God for which he sent down no authority. Their refuge is the fire — a wretched dwelling for the wrongdoers.

Reflection

Casting is the verb, and this future form of it turns up twice altogether: here, and at 73:5, where a weighty word is cast onto the Prophet. What is promised takes effect inside people who are not present to hear the promise. Its placement carries weight: the reassurance is given just before verse 152 begins the Qur'an's own account of how Uhud went wrong.
