The Holy Quran 7:131 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

فَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا۟ لَنَا هَـٰذِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا۟ بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّمَا طَـٰٓئِرُهُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

When favourable (comfort) conditions prevailed they (failed to thank Allaah and) said, "This is what we deserve (are worthy of)." However, when adverse conditions afflicted them, they would attribute the misfortune to Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام and to those with him (saying that it is because of their evil presence that these difficulties exist). Behold! Their misfortune (ill omen) is with Allaah (in Allaah's control), but most of them do not know it (they think that it is because of other reasons).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

فإذا جاء فرعونَ وقومَه الخِصْبُ والرزقُ قالوا: هذا لنا بما نستحقه، وإن يُصِبْهم جدب وقحط يتشاءموا، ويقولوا: هذا بسبب موسى ومَن معه. ألا إنَّ ما يصيبهم من الجدب والقحط إنما هو بقضاء الله وقدره، وبسبب ذنوبهم وكفرهم، ولكن أكثر قوم فرعون لا يعلمون ذلك; لانغمارهم في الجهل والضلال.
