Ayah 78
Surah An-Nisaa
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 Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allah." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?﴿78﴾

Simplified Tafsir
أينما تكونوا يلحقكم الموت في أي مكان كنتم فيه عند حلول آجالكم، ولو كنتم في حصون منيعة بعيدة عن ساحة المعارك والقتال. وإن يحصل لهم ما يسرُّهم من متاع هذه الحياة، ينسبوا حصوله إلى الله تعالى، وإن وقع عليهم ما يكرهونه ينسبوه إلى الرسول محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم جهالة وتشاؤمًا، وما علموا أن ذلك كله من عند الله وحده، بقضائه وقدره، فما بالهم لا يقاربون فَهْمَ أيِّ حديث تحدثهم به؟
