Ayah 97
Surah An-Nisaa
Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.﴿97﴾

Simplified Tafsir
إن الذين توفَّاهم الملائكة وقد ظلموا أنفسهم بقعودهم في دار الكفر وترك الهجرة، تقول لهم الملائكة توبيخًا لهم: في أي شيء كنتم من أمر دينكم؟ فيقولون: كنا ضعفاء في أرضنا، عاجزين عن دفع الظلم والقهر عنا، فيقولون لهم توبيخا: ألم تكن أرض الله واسعة فتخرجوا من أرضكم إلى أرض أخرى بحيث تأمنون على دينكم؟ فأولئك مثواهم النار، وقبح هذا المرجع والمآب.
