Vers: 12

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ أَوۡ قَاعِدًا أَوۡ قَآئِمٗا فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَدۡعُنَآ إِلَىٰ ضُرّٖ مَّسَّهُۥۚ كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

(12) ^[2305]When harm touches a human, he would pray to Us ˹whether lying˺ on his side or sitting or standing, but whenever We remove his harm from him, he ˹no sooner˺ moves on as if he did not pray to Us for a harm that touched him; thus has ˹always˺ been prettified for those of excess what they used to do.

[2305] This is to show that their prayer for evil was not sincere; being frail as humans are (cf. al-Rāzī): “When We bless man, he turns away and withdraws. Yet when evil touches him, he is full of prolonged prayers” (41: 51).
