Tafsir

O Messenger, tell these hypocrites: 'Nothing will afflict us except what Allah has written for us, He is our Protector, the one whom we take refuge in, and we put our trust in Him in all our affairs. Let the believers place their trust in Him for He is sufficient for them and the best of guardians.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))
If good befalls you, it grieves them, but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand," and they turn away rejoicing (50)Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Mawla (protector)." And in Allah let the believers put their trust (51) Allah emphasizes the enmity that the hypocrites have for the Prophet ﷺ. If a blessing, such as victory and triumph over the enemies, is given to the Prophet ﷺ, thus pleasing him and his Companions, it grieves the hypocrites, وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُوا قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ (but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand,"), they say, we took precautions when we did not join him, وَيَتَوَلَّوا وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ (and they turn away rejoicing.) Allah directed His Prophet ﷺ to reply to the perfect enmity they have towards him, قُل (Say), to them, لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا (Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.) for we are under His control and decree, هُوَ مَوْلَانَا (He is our Mawla.), Master and protector, وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ (And in Allah let the believers put their trust)[9:51], and we trust in Him. Verily, He is sufficient for us and what an excellent guardian.
