قوله تعالى : ( وإذا مس الناس ضر ) قحط وشدة ( دعوا ربهم منيبين إليه ) مقبلين إليه بالدعاء ( ثم إذا أذاقهم منه رحمة ) خصبا ونعمة ( إذا فريق منهم بربهم يشركون )
When the idolaters are afflicted by a difficulty i.e. poverty, drought, they supplicate only to their Lord, may He be glorified, returning to Him humbling themselves and seeking refuge in Him to remove the affliction from them. Then, when He shows them mercy by removing whatever afflicted them, they return to their ways of idolatry by supplicating to others along with Him.
