Aya 72
72
إِنّا عَرَضنَا الأَمانَةَ عَلَى السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَالجِبالِ فَأَبَينَ أَن يَحمِلنَها وَأَشفَقنَ مِنها وَحَمَلَهَا الإِنسانُ ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ ظَلومًا جَهولًا

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Indeed We offered the Trust (of Obedience) to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear this (burden) and felt scared of it but man took it on. Verily he is ever so wrongdoing (against his own soul), unwise and extremely ignorant (of the consequence of lapse in paying back the trust).
