(17) وَ إِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كاشِفَ لَهُ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَ إِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
17. " And if Allah touches you with affliction, none can remove it but He; and if He touches you with good, then He is All-Powerful over all things."
Commentary :
Hopes should be to Allah, and feares should also be from Allah, since the origin of all affairs is the same. It is not such that the goodnesses come from one source and the cause of removing vices originates from another source.
The Laws of Allah are legitimated for all and they let no exception. The holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) should betake to Allah when confronting the bitter and sweet incidents, too. The verse says:
" And if Allah touches you with affliction, none can remove it but He; and if He touches you with good, then He is All-Powerful over all things."
