surah Zumar aya 49 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ ۚ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ الزمر: 49]
39:49 And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishWhen a disbelieving man is afflicted by sickness, poverty etc.
he calls out to Me to remove his affliction.
Then when I bless him with health or wealth, the disbeliever says: Allah has only given me this because He knows that I deserve it.
Actually it is a test and a means of luring him to his destruction.
But most disbelievers do not know this and they are deceived by the blessings Allah gives them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help), then when We have (rescued him from that harm and) changed it into a favour from Us, he says: "Only because of knowledge (that I possess) I obtained it." Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Now, when trouble touches man, he cries to Us: But when We bestow a favour upon him as from Ourselves, he says, "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!" Nay, but this is but a trial, but most of them understand not!
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
When harm touches man, he calls to Us (for help); then when We have changed it into a favor from Us, he says: "Only because of knowledge I obtained it." Nay, it is only a trial, but most of them know not!

39:49 And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We translate in arabic
فإذا مس الإنسان ضر دعانا ثم إذا خولناه نعمة منا قال إنما أوتيته على علم بل هي فتنة ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
سورة: الزمر - آية: ( 49 ) - جزء: ( 24 ) - صفحة: ( 464 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And when man is touched or befallen with a misfortune or wedded to a calamity he invokes Us for relief, and when We extend to him a divine favour from the realm of heaven he says in response: I have acquired what comes into my possession by reason of the knowledge inherent in me and for my intellectual acquaintance with fact. In effect, what We bestowed upon him, of favour and prospering influence, was simply a test of his true inclination but most of them fail to realize this fact
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(39:49) When an affliction befalls man, *65 he cries out to Us; but when We grant him a favour from Us, he says: 'I have been granted this on account of my knowledge.' *66 Nay; this (favour) is a test; but most of them do not know. *67
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We meaning
*65) "The man" : the one who has aversion to Allah and whose face is distorted on hearing Allah alone being mentioned.
*66) This sentence can have two meanings: (1) "That Allah knows that I stn worthy of this blessing; that is why He has given me All this, otherwise He would not have blessed me if I had been an evil and wicked person in His sight;" and (2) `that I have attained to this by virtue of my ability."
*67) People ignorantly think that whoever is being blessed by Allah in some way is being so blessed necessarily on account of his worth and ability and that the same is a sign or proof of his being a favourite in His sight; whereas the fact is that whoever is being given something here, is being given it for the sake of a trial by Allah. This is a means of the test, and not any reward for ability, otherwise many able and worthy people would not be living in poverty and many unworthy people would not be rolling in prosperity. Likewise, these worldly blessings arc not a sign of one's being a favourite with AIlah either. Everyone can see that many good people whose goodness is unquestionable arc living in hardships in the world, and many wicked people whose evil-doing is well known arc enjoying the pleasures of life, Now, can a sensible man take the affliction of the one and the life of ease and comfort of the other as an argument to say that Allah hates the good matt and prefers the bad man?
And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We meaning in Urdu
یہی انسان جب ذرا سی مصیبت اِسے چھو جاتی ہے تو ہمیں پکارتا ہے، اور جب ہم اسے اپنی طرف سے نعمت دے کر اپھار دیتے ہیں تو کہتا ہے کہ یہ تو مجھے علم کی بنا پر دیا گیا ہے! نہیں، بلکہ یہ آزمائش ہے، مگر ان میں سے اکثر لوگ جانتے نہیں ہیں
