16وَأَمّا إِذا مَا ابتَلاهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيهِ رِزقَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّي أَهانَنِAli UnalBut whenever He tries him by straitening his means of livelihood, then he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.”1That is, in the former case (verse 15), he deems himself worthy of the favors God bestows on him, and does not consider that he is tried to see whether he will be thankful. In the latter case (verse 16), he imputes to God injustice, and does not consider that he is being tried for patience, in preparation for the reward to be given in return.
