The analysis above refers to the twelfth verse of chapter 10 (sūrat yūnus):

Sahih International: And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him.
