Al-Nisa’ 4: 78–9

But when fighting was enjoined upon them some of them feared men as one should fear Allah, or even more, and said: “Our Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us? Why did You not grant us a little more respite?” Say to them: “There is little enjoyment in this world. The World to Come is much better for the God-fearing, and you shall not be wronged even to the extent of the husk of a date- stone.” 59 (78) Wherever you might be, death will overtake you even though you be in massive towers.

And when some good happens to them, they say: “This is from Allah”; whereas when some misfortune befalls them, they say: “This is because of you.” Say: “All is from Allah.” What has happened to these people that they seem to understand nothing? (79) Whatever good happens to you is from Allah; and whatever misfortune smites you is because of your own action.

59 Were they to serve God’s religion and spend their energy in that cause, they would surely be rewarded by Him.
