131

But whenever a good thing, [such as] fertility and abundance, befell them, they said, 'This belongs to us' - that is, we deserve it - and they did not give thanks for it; and whenever an evil thing, [such as] drought or hardship, smote them, they would augur ill of Moses and those, believers, with him. Surely their ill augury is with Allahu ta’ālā, Who brings it upon them, but most of them do not know, that whatever befalls them is from Him.
