How good it would have been if they had felt pleased with what Allah and His Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] had given them and said: ‘Sufficient for us is Allah. Allah will soon confer on us His Bounty and so will His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) bestow (in addition). Indeed we are inclined to Allah alone.’ (And the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) is His mediator; in fact his bestowal is Allah’s. Had they developed this belief and refrained from sarcasm, it would have been better.)
