سُوْرَةُ هُوْدٍ
Surah Hud (11) — Ayah 10
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَـٰهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتُ عَنِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ ﴿10﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But if We let him taste good (favour) after evil (poverty and harm) has touched him, he is sure to say: "Ills have departed from me." Surely, he is exultant, and boastful (ungrateful to Allâh).

10. 1. That is, he thinks that the period of hardships has passed, and now no difficulty will come to him. Different meanings of "Ummah": In verse number 8, the word "Ummah" has appeared. In the Quran, it is used in different places with different meanings. It is derived from "Umm," which means intention. Here, its meaning is the time and period intended for the descent of punishment. (Fath al-Qadeer) In Surah Yusuf, verse 45 (وَادْكُرْ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ), it has the same meaning. Apart from this, the meanings in which it is used include: a leader or guide, as in (إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً); creed and religion, as in (إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ); group and party, as in (وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَاءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ النَّاسِ) and (وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ أُمَّةٌ) and others. It is that specific group or nation to whom a messenger is sent. (وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولٌ) This is also called "Ummah Da'wah," and similarly, those who believe in the Prophet are also called "Ummah" or "Ummah Ittiba'" or "Ummah Ijabah." (Ibn Kathir)
