12

وَإِذَا أَوْ أَوْ فَلَمَّا عَنْهُ كَأَن لَّمْ إِلَىٰ كَذَٰلِكَ مَا ﴿١٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him. Thus is made pleasing to the transgressors that which they have been doing
