The Holy Quran 89:16 — Surah Al-Fajr

Arabic text

وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَـٰنَنِ

Translation

However, when He (Allaah) tests him (man) by reducing his sustenance (to see whether he exercises patience), he says, "My Rabb has disgraced (has failed) me!" (He therefore fails the test by complaining and thereafter flouting Allaah's commands in a desperate effort to acquire some wealth.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Complaint at a time of straitness: that is, [he says]: “He did not value me.” In short, his gaze is only on the life of this world and the present state: he regards the present comfort and hardship of the world alone as the standard of honour and disgrace.
