( نهایت بی‌شرمی قارون و فرمان عذاب

قارون با نمایش ثروت هنگفت خود در برابر تودهٌ مردم محروم, طغیان و سرکشی را به اوج رسانید. نقل شده که پس از آن‌که موسی(ع) قارون را به دادن زکات مالش مأمور کرد و او با یک حساب ساده فهمید که چه مبلغ هنگفتی را باید بپردازد» از پرداخت زکات سر باز زد و برای تبرئَة خویش, به نقشةٌ شومی متوسل شد؛ بدین صورت که زن بدکاره‌ای را با پول تطمیع کرد تا در حضور مردم اعلام کند که - معاذالله - موسی(ع) با او رابطةٌ نامشروعی داشته است و بدین‌وسیله حیثیت پیامبر خدا لکه‌دار شود؛ اما چون آن زن در میان مردم حاضر شدء حضرت موسی او را به خدا سوگند داد که حقیقت را بیان کند و او به خواست خدا منقلب شد و حقیقت را فاش کرد. در آن هنگام». حضرت موسی(ع) قارون را نفرین کرد. در این زمان» فرمان مجازات قارون زشت‌سیرت صادر گشت و او و خانه‌اش در زمین فرو رفت.
