ومن الناس من يعبد الله على حرف فان اصابه خير اطمان به وان اصابته فتنة انقلب على وجهه خسر الدنيا والاخرة ذلك هو الخسران المبين

There are among men Some who serve God, As it were, on the verge: If good befalls them, they are, Therewith, well content; but If a trial comes to them, They turn on their faces: They lose both this world And the Hereafter: that Is loss for all to see!
