Fussilat • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ لَّا يَسْـَٔمُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِن دُعَآءِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَإِن مَّسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔوسٌۭ قَنُوطٌۭ ﴾
“MAN NEVER TIRES of asking for the good [things of life]; and if evil fortune touches him, he abandons all hope, giving himself up to despair.”
(Man) i.e. the disbelieving person (tireth not of praying for good) wealth, offspring and good health, (and if ill toucheth him) and if hardship and poverty touch him, (then he is disheartened, desperate) then he utterly despairs of Allah's mercy.
