إِن تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَإِن تُصِبْكُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَفْرَحُواْ بِهَا{If good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it}: As soon as a simple blessing comes to you, they are angry with it, because they do not want you to be good at all, whereas if something bad befalls you, they do not just want it to harm you, but rather they want a direct hit by this evil; so that they rejoice at it, and they rejoice only when they are sure that the bad has befallen you to the core, look at the accuracy of the Qur’anic expression.

وَإِن تَصْبِرُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ {And if you are patient and fear Allah}: This is a divine law, and Allah (swt) has put patience before fear Allah, so no harm will occur if you protect yourself with those two weapons; because patience over what befalls you is part of your faith, so if you do not panic and are patient, then you win, the Prophet (saws) said:

 “patience is half of faith”[1]

So Allah (swt) says:

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوفْ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الأَمَوَالِ وَالأنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ

{ And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,} (Al-Baqara: 155))

Allah (swt) mentions (the patient), not (the righteous).

لاَ يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًا {their plot will not harm you at all.}: No matter how they endeavor you, and no matter how much they plot, they will not harm you, for they do not know that Allah (swt) brought the believers into his protection, when the people of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) said to him:

إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ 

 {“Indeed, we are to be overtaken!”} (Ash-Shu’araa: 61)

His answer was:

قَالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ

 {[Moses] said, “No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me.”} (Ash-Shu’araa: 62)
