- 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 7:40:
  إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَلِجَ ٱلْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ ٱلْخِيَاطِ
  ʔinna llaḏīna kaḏḏabū bi-ʔāyātinā wa-stakbarū ʕanhā lā tufattaḥu lahum ʔabwābu s-samāʔi wa-lā yadḵulūna l-jannata ḥattā yalija l-jamalu fī sammi l-ḵiyāṭi
  Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them: the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle.
