The Holy Quran 11:9 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَـٰهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيَـُٔوسٌ كَفُورٌ

Translation

Undoubtedly, if We allow man to taste of Our mercy (a favour such as wealth or good health) and then snatch it away from him, he will certainly be despondent (disappointed) and ungrateful (failing to realise that it was Allaah Who granted him the favour in the first place).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The ingratitude and boastfulness of man: that is, now they say: “Where is the punishment, why does it not come?” — yet man is so weak and faint-hearted that if Allah, after keeping him for a few days in comfort and ease out of His kindness, afflicts him with hardship, he forgets even the past kindnesses and, despairing, gives up all hope for the future.
