Sura 29
Aya 10
10
وَمِنَ النّاسِ مَن يَقولُ آمَنّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذا أوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتنَةَ النّاسِ كَعَذابِ اللَّهِ وَلَئِن جاءَ نَصرٌ مِن رَبِّكَ لَيَقولُنَّ إِنّا كُنّا مَعَكُم ۚ أَوَلَيسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعلَمَ بِما في صُدورِ العالَمينَ

N. J. Dawood

Some profess to believe in God, yet when they suffer in His cause they confuse the persecution of man with the punishment of God. But if your Lord gives you victory, they say: ‘We were on your side.’ Does not God know best the thoughts of men?
