When the human being is tested by his Lord, through blessings and joy, he says, “My Lord is generous towards me.”
فَأَمَّا الإِنسٰنُ إِذا مَا ابتَلىٰهُ رَبُّهُ فَأَكرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّى أَكرَمَنِ
fa ammal insaanu izaa mab talaahu Rabbuhoo fa akramahoo wa na’ ‘amahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee akraman
But if He tests him through reduction in provisions, he says, “My Lord is humiliating me!”
وَأَمّا إِذا مَا ابتَلىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيهِ رِزقَهُ فَيَقولُ رَبّى أَهٰنَنِ
wa ammaaa izaa mabtalaahu faqadara ‘alaihi rizqahoo fa yaqoolu Rabbeee ahaanan

wa taakuloonat turaasa aklal lammaa
And loving the money too much.
وَتُحِبّونَ المالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
wa tuhibboonal maala hubban jammaa
