The Holy Quran 30:36 — Surah Ar-Rum

Arabic text

وَإِذَآ أَذَقْنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحْمَةً فَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِذَا هُمْ يَقْنَطُونَ

Translation

When We allow people to taste Our mercy (by showering Our favours on them), they rejoice (boast) about it. However, when any difficulty (evil) afflicts them because of the sins they commit, they suddenly lose hope (of ever recovering from the difficulty, thereby indicating that they have no reliance in Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The state of the disbelievers in joy and sorrow: that is, the state of these people is strange. When, by Allah's mercy and favour, they are in comfort, they are beside themselves with joy, and they grow so boastful and lose control of themselves that they do not even remember their true Benefactor.
