Andfrom the people there is he who serves God nervously. So if good comes to him, he is content with it; and if an ordeal comes to him, he makes an about-face. He has lost this world and the Hereafter. Such is the clear loss.

He calls upon besides God what will not harm him and what will not benefit him. Such is the far straying.

He calls on those who harm him more than they benefit him. What a miserable patron, and what a miserable companion.

Godadmits those who believe and do good works to estates with rivers flowing beneath them. God does as He wishes.

Whoever thinks that God will not grant him victory in this world and the Hereafter, then let him extend his reasons to the heavens, then let him cease and see whether this action has removed the cause of his anger.
