Happy .... If a lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat. 1 Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, 1 Think not that those who exult in what they have given 1 If good befalleth thee (O Muhammad) it afflicteth them, and if calamity befalleth thee, they say: We took precaution, and they turn away well pleased 1 Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting still behind the messenger of Allah, and were averse to striving with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way. And they said: Go not forth in the heat! 1 He it is Who maketh you to go on the land and the sea till, when ye are in the ships and they sail with them with a fair breeze and they are glad therein, a storm wind reacheth them and the wave cometh unto them from every side and they deem that they are overwhelmed therein; (then) they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only: If Thou deliver us from this, we truly will be of the thankful. 1 Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy: therein let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard. 1
