Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Turning away from Allah at Times of Ease and despairing at Times of CalamityAllah tells us about the weakness that is inherent in man, except for those whom He protects at both times of ease and calamity. If Allah blesses a man with wealth, good health, ease, provision and help, and he gets what he wants, he turns away from the obedience and worship of Allah, and becomes arrogant. Mujahid said, "(It means) he goes away from Us.
