16Veemmâ iẕâ me-btelâhü feḳadera ʿaleyhi rizḳahû feyeḳûlü rabbî ehânen.
English Translation
16But when He tests him with deprivation by restricting his provision, he says: —My Lord has wronged me.
Explanatory translation
16But whenever He tests him by taking back some of the blessings He gave and restricts his provision, he at once falls into despair and starts complaining. In words that overstep all bounds he says, “My Lord has not valued me; He has wronged me and humiliated me,” and, laying the blame on Allah, he rises up in rebellion. Yet it is Allah who gives provision and Allah who takes it away; plenty and want are both a test. These people, who take wealth as a sign of being valued in Allah’s sight, see their possession of wealth and power as proof that they are on the right path, and regard poor believers as misguided people deprived of divine favor.
