If We give man a taste of Mercy from Ourselves, and then withdraw it from him, behold! he is in despair and (falls into) blasphemy.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى عن الإنسان وما فيه من الصفات الذميمة ، إلا من رحم الله من عباده المؤمنين ، فإنه إذا أصابته شدة بعد نعمة ، حصل له يأس وقنوط من الخير بالنسبة إلى المستقبل ، وكفر وجحود لماضي الحال ، كأنه لم ير خيرا ، ولم يرج بعد ذلك فرجا
