[2498] Utter ingratitude is embodied in this statement. No sooner than his troubles are over, a human turns to a new chapter in his life and sets his sights on what is next; forgetting all about Who was behind this fortunate turn of events and ascribing it to none (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr): “But if they turn away, We have not sent you ˹Muhammad˺ as a keeper over them. Your duty is only to deliver ˹the Message˺. Indeed, when We let someone taste a mercy from Us, they rejoice in ˹because of ˺ it. But when afflicted with evil because of what their hands set forth, then one becomes ever ungrateful” (42: 48).
