Someone calling to them for help cried out: "Do you see this? For what sin?!"
ذَنْبٍ — sin. An indefinite noun completing the 'for which sin?' question, sitting in the 'of'-style ending because the bundled preposition before it governs it. Left indefinite, it sharpens the protest: not any named sin, but what conceivable sin at all could warrant this. It is the missing reason the rhetorical question reaches for.
