The Holy Quran 27:47 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

قَالُوا۟ ٱطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ ۚ قَالَ طَـٰٓئِرُكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ

Translation

They said, "We predict only evil (like famine and hardship) to come (to us) from you and from those with you." He said, "Your predictions of evil (hardships) is with Allaah. (Only He can bring you the evil you expect from us.) You are but a nation that is being tested (to see whether you will do good by accepting Imaan or whether you will remain on kufr and suffer the consequences)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قال قوم صالح له: تَشاءَمْنا بك وبمن معك ممن دخل في دينك، قال لهم صالح: ما أصابكم الله مِن خير أو شر فهو مقدِّره عليكم ومجازيكم به، بل أنتم قوم تُخْتَبرون بالسراء والضراء والخير والشر.
