Punishments for disrespecting holy relic

Dear Islamic sisters! Just like you attain many benefits and blessings from respecting and honouring holy relics, now and again you could get punishment in this world by disrespecting and dishonouring the holy relics. The biggest proof of this is the ‘Taboot-e-Sakeenah’:

It is written on page 52-53 of the book named ‘Ajaaib-ul-Quran Ma’ Gharaib-ul-Quran: Taboot-e-Sakeenah was a wooden box that descended upon Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, which remained with him all his life. It was then passed down in the form of inheritance, generation after generation via his offspring. It was a very sacred and blessed wooden box. Whenever there would be any disagreement between Bani Israel, they would get the decision from this wooden box. A voice, informing them of the decision and good news of victory would be heard from the wooden box. Bani Israel would make Du’a through its means and their Du’a would be accepted. Calamities and illnesses would be removed. In short, this wooden box was Taboot-e-Sakeenah, a treasure of blessings, bounties and the best and sacred means of receiving the help of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. But when Bani Israel indulged in various sins, and disobedience and other sins became common, then due to their bad actions, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ punished them in such a way that the ill-fated people from the nation of ‘Amaliqah attacked them with an army. They destroyed the cities of Bani Israel and killed numerous people, creating a bloodbath. They demolished the buildings and totally damaged and destroyed the city, and took the blessed wooden box with them. They threw the sacred wooden box into rubbish. Their disrespect of the blessed wooden box resulted in them being bound into various types of diseases and problems. Therefore, 5 cities of the nation of ‘Amaliqah became totally destroyed and deserted, until they found out that this was all due to their disrespect of the blessed wooden box, which opened their eyes. They then put the sacred wooden box onto a bullock cart and drove the bullocks towards the settlement of Bani Israel. (‘Ajaaib-ul-Quran Ma’ Gharaib-ul-Quran, pp. 52, 53 Summarised)
