Salaam all,

This is 3:112
ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُواْ إِلاَّ بِحَبْلٍ مِّنْ اللّهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِّنَ النَّاسِ وَبَآؤُوا بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَسْكَنَةُ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ يَكْفُرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ الأَنبِيَاء بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا وَّكَانُواْ يَعْتَدُونَ
Duribat AAalayhimu alththillatu ayna ma thuqifoo illa bihablin mina Allahi wahablin mina alnnasi wabaoo bighadabin mina Allahi waduribat AAalayhimu almaskanatu thalika biannahum kanoo yakfuroona biayati Allahi wayaqtuloona alanbiyaa bighayri haqqin thalika bima AAasaw wakanoo yaAAtadoona

The Aya says:
Humiliation was hit on them, wherever they were grasped, except by a rope from Allah and a rope from the people. And they landed by anger from Allah, and lack of means was hit on them. That (is because) they happened to reject Allah’s signs, and they kill the prophets without binding right. That is by what they disobeyed and they happened to aggress.

My personal note:
The Aya continues in the description of the group amongst the people of the book that were talked about in the previous Ayat. It describes their characteristics as people who killed the prophets without right and as people who reject God’s signs as well as disobedience and aggression. The Aya also mentions that those were landed in God’s anger, as well as hit with humiliation and lack of means, except when God and people give reprieve.

It means: the action of hitting with measure and purpose happened to the object (althillatu= the humiliation) by an undeclared subject.
AAalayhimu: on them
Alththillatu: the humiliation
Note: the root is TH-L-L and it means pliant to pressure and being dominated. This takes the meaning of weakness and humiliation, but at times, it takes the meaning of humility and softness.
