The Holy Quran 41:49 — Surah Fussilat

Arabic text

لَّا يَسْـَٔمُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٌ قَنُوطٌ

Translation

Man never gets tired of praying for good (fortune, such as more wealth and progress in every field. This denotes his greed for the good things of this world). (Furthermore, man is also ungrateful to Allaah and harbours ill thoughts about Him because) If adversity has to afflict him, he completely loses all hope (as if Allaah had never given him any good fortune previously and will never give him any in future).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

لا يملُّ الإنسان من دعاء ربه طالبًا الخير الدنيوي، وإن أصابه فقر وشدة فهو يؤوس من رحمة الله، قنوط بسوء الظن بربه.
