৪৯. মানুষ উন্নতি কামনায় ক্লান্ত হয় না;
যদি তাকে অমঙ্গল স্পর্শ করে,
তবে সে সম্পূর্ণ রূপে নিরাশ হয়ে পড়ে।
৫০. বিপদাপদ
স্পর্শ করার পর আমি যদি তাকে আমার অনুগ্রহ আস্বাদন করাই,
তখন সে বলতে
থাকে,
এটা যে আমার যোগ্য প্রাপ্য; আমি মনে করি না যে,
কেয়ামত সংঘটিত হবে। আমি যদি আমার পালনকর্তার কাছে ফিরে যাই,
তবে অবশ্যই তার কাছে আমার জন্য
কল্যাণ রয়েছে।
অতএব,
আমি কাফেরদেরকে তাদের কর্ম সম্পর্কে অবশ্যই অবহিত করব
এবং তাদেরকে অবশ্যই আস্বাদন করাব কঠিন শাস্তি।
Ayat 49. Man
(the disbeliever) does not get tired of asking good (things from
Allah), but if an evil touches him, then he gives up all hope and is
lost in despair.
Ayat 50. And truly, if We
give him a taste of mercy from us, after some adversity (severe poverty
or disease, etc.) has touched him, he is sure to say: "This is for me
(due to my merit), I think not that the Hour will be established. But if
I am brought back to my Lord, Surely, there will be for me the best
(wealth, etc.) with Him. Then, We verily, will show to the disbelievers what they have done and We shall make them taste a severe torment.
Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 49. Man does not weary of asking for good (things), but if ill touches him, he gives up all hope (and) is lost in despair. Not
only is man prone to doubts and speculations in matters beyond his ken,
thus disturbing the even tenor of his spiritual life: he is apt to run
into opposite extremes in his daily experiences in this life. He is
always hankering after the good things of this life. They are not all
good for him. If he receives a little check, even though it may be to
bring him to his bearings and turn his thoughts to higher things, he is
apt to fall into despair. Ayat 50. When
we give him a taste of some Mercy from ourselves, after some adversity
has touched him, he is sure to say, "This is due to my (merit): I think
not that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) be established; but if I am
brought back to my Lord, I have (much) good (stored) in His sight!" But We will show the Unbelievers the truth of all that they did, and We shall give them the taste of a severe Penalty.

When men entertain false ideas of values in life, there are two or
three possible attitudes they may adopt in reaction to their
experiences. In the first place, their desire may be inordinate for the
good things of this life, and any little check brings them into a mood
of despair. See last note. In the second place, if their desire is
granted, they are puffed up, and think that everything is due to their
own cleverness or merit, and they forget Allah. Not only that, but they
go a step further, and begin to doubt a Hereafter at all! If by chance
they have a faint glimmering of the Hereafter, which they cannot help
recognizing, they think themselves "favored of Heaven", because of some
small favour given to them in this life by way of trial. Thus they turn
all things, good or evil, away from their real purpose, because they are
devoted to falsehood.
Hazrat Jarir bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who is deprived of forbearance, tenderly feelings and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of good.'' [Muslim Book 32, Hadith Number 6272].
Lesson: This Hadith brings out that Allah enjoins softness and dislikes stiffness in human relations. Allah assures of reward for gentle behavior in society, not for unkindness or anything like that. However, inflexibility is preferred to flexibility when there arises a question of religious matters and the limits set by Allah.
