Al-A'raf 7:131

<h2>Fir`awn and His People suffer Years of Drought</h2><p>Allah said, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَآ ءالَ فِرْعَوْنَ</div><p>(And indeed We punished the people of Fir`awn) We tested and tried them, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">بِالسِّنِينَ</div><p>(with years of drought) of famine due to little produce, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَنَقْصٍ مِّن الثَّمَرَاتِ</div><p>(and lack of fruits), which is less severe, according to Mujahid. Abu Ishaq narrated that Raja' bin Haywah said, "The date tree used to produce only one date!" </p><div class="arabic uthmani">لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَفَإِذَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْحَسَنَةُ</div><p>(That they might remember (take heed). But whenever good came to them) such as a fertile season and provisions, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">قَالُواْ لَنَا هَـذِهِ</div><p>(they said, "This is for us."), because we deserve it, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ</div><p>(and if evil afflicted them) drought and famine, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">يَطَّيَّرُواْ بِمُوسَى وَمَن مَّعَهُ</div><p>(they considered it an omen Musa and those with him. ) saying that this hardship is because of them and what they have done. </p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَلاَ إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ</div><p>(Verily, their omens are with Allah) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَلاَ إِنَّمَا طَائِرُهُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ</div><p>(Verily, their omens are with Allah) "Allah says that their afflictions are with and from Him, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ …

But whenever good befell them, they said: This is ours; and whenever evil smote them they ascribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and those with him. Surely their evil auspice was only with Allah. But most of them knew not.

But when good (times) came, they said, "This is due to us;" When gripped by calamity, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens of evil are theirs in Allah's sight, but most of them do not understand!

But whenever good came to them, they said: "Ours is this." And if evil afflicted them, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Musa (Moses) and those with him. Be informed! Verily, their evil omens are with Allah but most of them know not.

When something good came their way, they said, “This is ours.” And when something bad happened to them, they ascribed the evil omen to Moses and those with him. In fact, their omen is with God, but most of them do not know.
