Tafsir of Surah An-Nisaa 4:73

﴿وَلَئِنْ أَصَابَكُمْ فَضْلٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ لَيَقُولَنَّ كَأَن لَّمْ تَكُن بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ مَوَدَّةٌ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ مَعَهُمْ فَأَفُوزَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا﴾

Translation of the meaning

But if bounty comes to you from Allāh, he will surely say, as if [i.e., showing that] there had never been between you and him any affection, "Oh, I wish I had been with them so I could have attained a great attainment."

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

فهؤلاء المبطئون لم يحبوا لإخوانهم المؤمنين ما يحبون لأنفسهم بل إن أصابتهم مصيبة فرحوا باختصاصهم وإن أصابتهم نعمة لم يفرحوا لهم بها بل أحبوا أن يكون لهم منها حظ«مجموع الفتاوى» 10/128
