Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And if misfortune touch a man) when hardship or sickness befalls the disbeliever, the reference here is to Hisham Ibn al-Mughirah and al-Makhzumi (he cries unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune) when We relieved him of the hardship and misfortune which befell him (he goeth his way) he carries on his abstention from making supplication to Us (as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune) a hardship (that afflicted him. Thus is what they do) in their state of idolatry of making supplications in times of hardship and abstaining from so making supplication to Allah in times of ease (made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal) unto the idolaters.
