إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا ۝ إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا ۝ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا

"Indeed, man was created anxious: When evil touches him, impatient; and when good touches him, withholding."

یقیناً انسان گھبراہٹ میں پیدا کیا گیا ہے۔ جب اسے کوئی تکلیف پہنچتی ہے تو گھبرا جاتا ہے، اور جب اسے بھلائی ملتی ہے تو روک رکھنے والا بن جاتا ہے۔
