If good fortune such as a victory or a taking of some spoils befalls you it vexes them; but if an affliction some hardship befalls you they say ‘We took our precaution judiciously — when we stayed behind — before’ before this act of disobedience; and they turn away rejoicing at what has afflicted you.
- 9:5050
إِنْ تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُوا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ فَرِحُونَ
If good befalleth thee, it annoyeth them, and if an affliction befalleth thee, they say; surely we took good hold of our affair before. And they turn away while they are exulting.
