The Holy Quran 3:120 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

إِن تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَفْرَحُوا۟ بِهَا ۖ وَإِن تَصْبِرُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ

Translation

It upsets them if good (unity, victory, prosperity) comes to you (Muslims) and they rejoice if misfortune (hardship, difficulties) strikes you. If you exercise sabr and adopt Taqwa, their schemes cannot affect you in the least. Verily Allaah encompasses (has complete knowledge of) their actions (and will punish them accordingly and make their schemes fail).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

If they see even the slightest good for you, for example the unity and solidarity of the Muslims or victory over enemies, they begin to roast in the fire of envy. And wherever they see some misfortune upon you, they are beside themselves with joy.
