The Holy Quran 11:10 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ

Translation

(Instead of being grateful to Allaah and fulfilling Allaah's commands,) He then becomes boastful and arrogant (thinking that the bounty was earned through his own resourcefulness and effort).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, if after misfortune Allah grants him ease and comfort, he thinks that the misfortunes and hardships have now ended forever and that the former state will never return. Then, heedless and arrogant, he boasts and goes about strutting, whereas he ought to have remembered his former state, given thanks to Allah and bowed before His favour.
