اينما تكونوا يدرككم الموت ولو كنتم في بروج مشيدة وان تصبهم حسنة يقولوا هذه من عند الله وان تصبهم سيئة يقولوا هذه من عندك قل كل من عند الله فمال هؤلاء القوم لا يكادون يفقهون حديثا

"Wherever ye are, Death will find you out, Even if ye are in towers Built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, They say, "This is from God"; But if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from God." But what hath come To these people, That they fail To understand A single fact?
