quran:41:49 –

Man is not weary of supplication for good ˹things˺, but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.  

Man never wearies of supplicating for good, in other words, he never ceases to ask his Lord for wealth and good health and other ˹good˺ things, but should any ill befall him, such as impoverishment or hardship, then he becomes despondent, despairing, of God’s mercy — this and what follows relates to ˹the attitude of˺ disbelievers.
القرآن:٤١:٤٩ –

لَا يَسْأَمُ الْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَاءِ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنْ مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَئُوسٌ قَنُوطٌ  

{لا يسأم الإنسان من دعاء الخير} أي لا يزال يسأل ربه المال والصحة وغيرهما {وإن مسه الشر} الفقر والشدة {فيؤس قنوط} من رحمة الله، وهذا وما بعده في الكافرين.
