اَیْنَمَا تَكُوْنُوْا یُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَیَّدَةٍ ؕ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ؕ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَمَالِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا یَكَادُوْنَ یَفْقَهُوْنَ حَدِیْثًا ۟

Saheeh International
Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allāh"; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allāh." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
At any time and place, death will surely come to you when reach your prescribed life term, even if you are in guarded palaces far from battle. And when these hypocrites receive something pleasing, such as a child or wealth, they say, ‘This is from Allah’. Yet when they face some difficulty with respect to their children or wealth, they attribute a bad sign and misfortune to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and they say, ‘This evil is because of you’. Say, O Messenger, in response to these people: Everything, good or bad, occurs by Allah’s decree and decision. What is the matter with these people, who say such things, that they can hardly understand anything you tell them?
