Verse (39:8)

The analysis above refers to the eighth verse of chapter 39 (sūrat l-zumar):

Sahih International: And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him [alone]; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead [people] from His way.
