42 Ash-Shura(الشورى), Ayah 48

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا ۖ إِنْ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا الْبَلَاغُ ۗ وَإِنَّا إِذَا أَذَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا ۖ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَإِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ كَفُورٌ 48 ٤٨

Fain aAAradoo fama arsalnaka AAalayhim hafeethan in AAalayka illa albalaghu wainna itha athaqna alinsana minna rahmatan fariha biha wain tusibhum sayyiatun bima qaddamat aydeehim fainna alinsana kafoorun (48)

Tafsir

( فإن أعرضوا ) عن الإجابة ، ( فما أرسلناك عليهم حفيظا إن عليك ) ما عليك ، ( إلا البلاغ وإنا إذا أذقنا الإنسان منا رحمة ) قال ابن عباس : يعني الغنى والصحة . ( فرح بها وإن تصبهم سيئة ) قحط ، ( بما قدمت أيديهم فإن الإنسان كفور ) أي : لما تقدم من نعمة الله عليه ، ينسى ويجحد بأول شدة جميع ما سلف من النعم .

If they turn away from what you instruct them, then I have not sent you, O Messenger, as a guardian over them to watch their actions. Your duty is only to convey what I have instructed you to convey and their reckoning is left to Allah. When I give man a taste of My mercy of riches, health etc. he rejoices in it. But when a trial of difficulty befalls them on account of their sins, their nature is to be ungrateful for Allah’s favours and become angry at what Allah had in His wisdom decreed.
