Sura 42
Aya 48
48
فَإِن أَعرَضوا فَما أَرسَلناكَ عَلَيهِم حَفيظًا ۖ إِن عَلَيكَ إِلَّا البَلاغُ ۗ وَإِنّا إِذا أَذَقنَا الإِنسانَ مِنّا رَحمَةً فَرِحَ بِها ۖ وَإِن تُصِبهُم سَيِّئَةٌ بِما قَدَّمَت أَيديهِم فَإِنَّ الإِنسانَ كَفورٌ

Ali Unal

But (do not grieve) if they turn away in aversion (from your call, O Messenger): We have not sent you (as a Messenger) so as to be their keeper (to prevent their misdeeds or carry accountability for them). What rests with you is but to convey (God’s Message) fully. Indeed, when We favor human with a taste of mercy, he rejoices in it (without ever thinking to express gratitude to Him Who favored him). But if an evil befalls them because of what their hands have forwarded, surely then human is ungrateful.
