50إِن تُصِبكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤهُم ۖ وَإِن تُصِبكَ مُصيبَةٌ يَقولوا قَد أَخَذنا أَمرَنا مِن قَبلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوا وَهُم فَرِحونَMuhammad AsadShould good fortune alight on thee,1 [O Prophet,] it will grieve them; and should misfortune befall thee, they will say [to themselves], "We have already taken our precautions beforehand!" - and will turn away, and will rejoice.I.e., in the course of the expedition to Tabuk, during which most of this surah was revealed. One should, however, bear in mind that these verses have not merely a historical connotation but, rather, aim at depicting hypocrisy as such.
