Koran 28:82 — soera Al-Qasas, vers 82

وَأَصۡبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوۡاْ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيۡكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقۡدِرُۖ لَوۡلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاۖ وَيۡكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

En degenen die een dag eerder (een positie als) zijn positie hadden gewenst begonnen te zeggen: “Weten jullie niet dat het Allah is Die de voorziening vergroot voor wie Hij maar wilt van Zijn dienaren of vermindert. Als het niet was geweest dat Allah ons begunstigd had, dan zou Hij ervoor kunnen zorgen dat de aarde ons (ook) opzwelgt! Weten jullie niet dat de ongelovigen nooit zullen slagen.”

And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed
