The analysis above refers to the ninth verse of chapter 34 (sūrat saba):

Sahih International: Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allah].
