Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
quran:41:51 –

And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.

And when We bestow graces upon man (insān, the generic noun ˹is meant˺), he shows disregard, of giving thanks, and turns aside, turns his head in arrogance (a variant reading ˹for nā’a˺ has na’ā); but when ill befalls him, he makes prolonged supplications.

القرآن:٤١:٥١ –

وَإِذَا أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَأَىٰ بِجَانِبِهِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُو دُعَاءٍ عَرِيضٍ

{وإذا أنعمنا على الإنسان} الجنس {أعرض} عن الشكر {وناء بجانبه} ثنى عطفه متبختراً، وفي قراءة بتقديم الهمزة {وإذا مسه الشر فذو دعاءٍ عريض} كثير.

quran:17:83 –

And when We bestow favor upon the disbeliever, he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

And when We are gracious to man, the disbelieving ˹man˺, he is disregardful, of giving thanks, and turns aside, turning his face away in arrogance; but when an ill, such as poverty or hardship, befalls him, he is in despair, despondent of God’s mercy.

القرآن:١٧:٨٣ –

وَإِذَا أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَأَىٰ بِجَانِبِهِ ۖ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَئُوسًا

{وإذا أنعمنا على الإنسان} الكافر {أعرض} عن الشكر {ونأى بجانبه} ثنى عطفه متبخترا {وإذا مسه الشر} الفقر والشدة {كان يؤوسا} قنوطا من رحمة الله.
