Surah At-Tawba (9) — Ayah 59
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَقَالُوا۟ حَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ رَٰغِبُونَ ﴿59﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Would that they were contented with what Allâh and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) gave them and had said: "Allâh is Sufficient for us. Allâh will give us of His Bounty, and so will His Messenger (from alms). We implore Allâh (to enrich us)."

59. How much better it would have been if they were content [64] with what Allah and His Messenger had given them, and said, "Allah is sufficient for us. Allah will give us of His bounty, and so will His Messenger. To Allah alone do we turn our hopes."
[64] That is, it would have been better for the hypocrites to place their trust in the person of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and to be content and satisfied with whatever Allah had already given them and what the Messenger had now given them. And if, according to their own assumption, they felt any deficiency, then for the future they should have looked towards the grace and bounty of Allah.
