But whenever a good thing such as fertility and abundance befell them they said ‘This belongs to us’ that is we deserve it and they did not give thanks for it; and whenever an evil thing such as drought or hardship smote them they would augur ill of Moses and those believers with him. Surely their ill augury is with God Who brings it upon them but most of them do not know that whatever befalls them is from Him.
- 7:131131
فَإِذَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ قَالُوا لَنَا هَٰذِهِ ۖ وَإِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَطَّيَّرُوا بِمُوسَىٰ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Yet when good came their way they said: "It is our due;" but when misfortune befell them they put the omen down to Moses and those who were with him. But surely the omen was with God, yet most of them did not understand.
