Fussilat 41:50

Word by word

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَـٰذَا لِى وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّجِعْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ لِى عِندَهُۥ لَلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ

And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ولئن أذقنا الإنسان نعمة منا من بعد شدة وبلاء لم يشكر الله تعالى، بل يطغى ويقول: أتاني هذا؛ لأني مستحق له، وما أعتقد أن الساعة آتية، وذلك إنكار منه للبعث، وعلى تقدير إتيان الساعة وأني سأرجع إلى ربي، فإن لي عنده الجنة، فلنخبرن الذين كفروا يوم القيامة بما عملوا من سيئات، ولنذيقنهم من العذاب الشديد.
