Surah Fussilat — Ayah 49 (41:49)
لَّا يَسۡـَٔمُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٞ قَنُوطٞ ٤٩
English translation (Saheeh International)
Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.
Brief commentary
Man does not tire of asking for health, wealth, children and other favours. If he is afflicted by poverty, sickness and the like then he becomes extremely despondent of Allah’s mercy.
