Whatsoever the blessings you enjoy are surely from God, and when in trouble you turn to Him in supplication.

Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and whatever of comfort ye enjoy, it is from allah) not from the idols. (then, when misfortune) when hardship (reacheth you, unto him) unto allah (ye cry for help) and beseech.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

[moreover] this may [itself] be a blessing from god upon you, for if he so wished he could have afflicted you with something severer than that, so in comparison to a severer affliction, it is a blessing, for [under a severer affliction] they would recoil in fear from it, and neither exercise patience (ṣabr) nor show gratitude.it came to our knowledge that god, exalted is he, revealed to david <img border="0" src="images/alyhialsalam.jpg" width="34" height="19"> the words: ‘be patient with the provisions (maʾūna) you have [from me], and you will be granted help (maʿūna) from me’. his words, exalted is he:
