Ayah

Word by Word

وَإِذَآ

And when

أَنۡعَمۡنَا

We bestow favor

عَلَى

ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ

man

أَعۡرَضَ

he turns away

وَنَـَٔا

and becomes remote

بِجَانِبِهِۦ

on his side

وَإِذَا

And when

مَسَّهُ

touches him

ٱلشَّرُّ

the evil

كَانَ

he is

يَـُٔوسٗا

(in) despair

Translation

Yet when We bestow Our favours on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side (instead of coming to Us), and when evil seizes him he gives himself up to despair!

Tafsir

Turning away from Allah at Times of Ease and despairing at Times of Calamity

Allah tells:

وَإِذَا أَنۡعَمۡنَا عَلَى الاِنسَانِ أَعۡرَضَ وَنَأَى بِجَانِبِهِ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ كَانَ يَوُوسًا

And when We bestow Our grace on man, he turns away and becomes arrogant. And when evil touches him, he is in great despair.

Allah tells us about the weakness that is inherent in man, except for those whom He protects at both times of ease and calamity. If Allah blesses a man with wealth, good health, ease, provision and help, and he gets what he wants, he turns away from the obedience and worship of Allah, and becomes arrogant.

Mujahid said,

""(It means) he goes away from Us.""

I say, this is like the Ayah:

فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَدۡعُنَأ إِلَى ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهُ

But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him! (10:12)

and;

فَلَمَّا نَجَّـكُمۡ إِلَى الۡبَرِّ أَعۡرَضۡتُمۡ

But when He brings you safe to land, you turn away. (Ayah 67)

When man is stricken with evil, which means disasters, accidents and calamities,

كَانَ يَوُوسًا

he is in great despair,

meaning that he thinks he will never have anything good again.

As Allah says,

وَلَيِنۡ أَذَقۡنَا الاِنۡسَـنَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعۡنَاهَا مِنۡهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَيُوسٌ كَفُورٌ

وَلَيِنۡ أَذَقۡنَاهُ نَعۡمَأءَ بَعۡدَ ضَرَّاءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّيَاتُ عَنِّي إِنَّهُ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُواۡ وَعَمِلُواۡ الصَّـلِحَاتِ أُوۡلَـيِكَ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَأَجۡرٌ كَبِيرٌ

And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us, and remove it from him, verily, He is despairing, ungrateful. But if We let him taste good after evil has touched him, he is sure to say:""Ills have departed from me.""

Surely, he is exultant, and boastful. Except those who show patience and do righteous good deeds:those, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. (11:9-11)

قُلۡ كُلٌّ يَعۡمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ

Say:""Each one does according to Shakilatihi...""

Ibn `Abbas said,

""According to his inclinations.""

Mujahid said,

""According to his inclinations and his nature.""

Qatadah said,

""According to his intentions.""

Ibn Zayd said,

""According to his religion.""

All these suggestions are close in meaning.

This Ayah - and Allah knows best - is a threat and a warning to the idolators, like the Ayah:

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُوۡمِنُونَ اعۡمَلُواۡ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمۡ

And say to those who do not believe:""Act according to your ability and way."" (11:121)

So Allah says:

قُلۡ كُلٌّ يَعۡمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ هُوَ أَهۡدَى سَبِيلً

Say:""Each one does according to Shakilatihi, and your Lord knows best of him whose path is right.""

meaning either us or you. Everyone will be rewarded in accordance with his deeds, for nothing whatsoever is hidden from Allah."
