lying on his side or sitting or standing, but as soon as We have freed him
of his affliction, he goes on as thought he had never invoked Us to save
him from the affliction that befell him! Thus do their own doings
seem goodly unto those who waste their own selves.'

away from him.. behold, he abandons all hope, forgetting all gratitude.'

visited him, he is sure to say, 'Gone is all affliction from me!' - for,
behold, he is given to vain exultation, and glories only in himself.'
