39:50

فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَٰهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍۭ ۚ بَلْ هِىَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And when trouble touches man, he cries unto Us. But when We bestow on him a favour from Us, he says, ‘This has been given to me on account of my own knowledge.’ Nay, it is only a trial; but most of them know not.

English - Five Volume Translation

[c]And when harm touches man, he cries unto Us. But when We bestow on him a favour from Us, he says, ‘This has been given to me on account of my own knowledge.’ Nay, it is only a trial; but most of them know not.[3472]

See 39:9.

Commentary:

It is human nature that when man is involved in trouble he prays to God, but when he is in affluent circumstances he consigns Him to oblivion and attributes all his success in life to his own ability and knowledge. This attitude of conceit and arrogance has always proved a stumbling block in the way of disbelievers to appreciate and accept truth.

English - Short Commentary Translation

[b]And when harm touches man, he cries unto Us. But when We bestow on him a favour from Us, he says, ‘This has been given to me on account of my own knowledge.’[2583] Nay, it is only a trial; but most of them know not.

11:10, 11; 17:68; 30:34; 39:9.

It is human nature that when man is involved in trouble he prays to God, but when he is in affluent circumstances he consigns him to oblivion and attributes all his success in life to his own ability and knowledge.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پس جب انسان کو کوئی تکلیف چھُوتی ہے تو ہمیں پکارتا ہے پھر جب ہم اسے اپنی طرف سے کوئی نعمت عطا کرتے ہیں تو وہ کہتا ہے کہ یہ میں محض ایک علم کی بنا پر دیا گیا ہوں۔ حقیقت میں یہ تو ایک بڑا فتنہ ہے۔ لیکن ان میں سے اکثر نہیں جانتے۔

French

Et quand quelque affliction touche l’homme, il Nous supplie. Mais quand Nous lui accordons une faveur de Notre part, il dit : « Ceci ne m’a été accordé qu’en raison de ma propre connaissance. » C’est plutôt une épreuve ; mais la plupart d’entre eux ne savent pas.

German

Wenn nun den Menschen ein Unglück berührt, so ruft er Uns an. Dann aber, wenn Wir ihm eine Gnade von Uns zuteil werden lassen, spricht er: "Dies ward mir nur auf Grund (meines) Wissens gegeben." Nein, es ist eine Prüfung bloß; jedoch die meisten von ihnen wissen es nicht.

Chinese

[c]当人遇到不幸时, 他就呼求我。但当我赐予他我的恩惠时, 他说: “我获得了这个恩惠, 只因为我具有知识。”[1142]事实上, 这只是一个考验, 但他们大多数的人都不了解。

11:10, 11; 17:68; 30:34; 39:9.

人类的天性是, 当他们被陷入在麻烦或不幸中时, 他们向安拉祈祷; 但是他们在富裕的时候却使安拉湮没无闻而把他们的一切成功归于自己的能力和知识。

Italian

E quando l'uomo è colpito da una sventura, Ci invoca. Ma dopo che Noi gli abbiamo concesso un Nostro favore, egli dice: «Questo mi è stato dato a motivo della mia propria conoscenza.» No, si tratta solo di una prova; ma la maggior parte di loro non sa.

Spanish

Cuando la tribulación cae sobre el hombre, Nos invoca. Pero cuando e concedemos un favor Nuestro, dice: “esto se me ha dado gracias a mi propio conocimiento”. No; se trata sólo de una prueba, pero la mayoría de ellos lo desconocen.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب انسان کو کوئی نقصان پہنچتا ہے تو وہ ہمیں پکارنے لگتا ہے۔ پھر جب ہم اس کو اپنے پاس سے کوئی نعمت دیتے ہیں تو وہ کہتا ہے مجھے یہ نعمت اپنے علم کی بنا پر ملی ہے (یہ درست نہیں) بلکہ اس کا ملنا ایک آزمائش ہے لیکن اِن میں سے اکثر جانتے نہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یہی انسان جب ذرا سی مصیبت اِسے چھو جاتی ہے تو ہمیں پکارتا ہے، اور جب ہم اسے اپنی طرف سے نعمت دے کر اپھار دیتے ہیں تو کہتا ہے کہ یہ تو مجھے علم کی بنا پر دیا گیا ہے! نہیں، بلکہ یہ آزمائش ہے، مگر ان میں سے اکثر لوگ جانتے نہیں ہیں

English - Sahih

And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

پھر جب آدمی پر کوئی مصیبت آتی ہے تو ہمیں پکارتا ہے پھر جب ہم اسے اپنی نعمت عطا کرتے ہیں تو کہتا ہے یہ تومجھے میری عقل سے ملی ہے بلکہ یہ نعمت آزمائش ہے ولیکن ان میں سے اکثر نہیں جانتے
