What are the behaviors of people in general when affliction touches them and is subsequently removed?


 
 

Verse 12 of Chapter 10
When he is in affliction, he calls Us, standing or sitting or lying down, but when We remove his .affliction from him, he behaves as if he had never called Us at the time when affliction came upon him. Thus the evil deeds of such transgressors have been made seeming fair to them.


Verses 9-11 of Chapter 11
And if We make man taste mercy from Us, then take it off from him, most surely he is despairing, ungrateful. And if We make him taste a favor after distress has afflicted him, he will certainly say: The evils are gone away from me. Most surely he is exulting, boasting. Except those who are patient and do good, they shall have forgiveness and a great reward.

Verse 83 of Chapter 17
And when We bestow favor on man, he turns aside and behaves proudly, and when evil afflicts him, he is despairing.

Verses 49-51 of Chapter 41
Man is never wearied of praying for good, and when an evil befalls him, he loses hope and becomes desperate. But when We let him taste Our mercy after the hardship, he says, "I deserve this, and I do not think that the Hour (of Resurrection) will ever come. But if I am really brought back to my Lord, I shall have good reward with Him, too. " The fact, however, is that We shall certainly tell the disbelievers what they had done, and We shall make them taste a most degrading Chastisement.When We bless man, he turns away and grows stiff necked; but when an evil touches him, he comes with lengthy supplications.
