Surah An-Nisa' (The Women), Verse 78

اَیْنَمَا تَكُوْنُوْا یُدْرِكْكُّمُ الْمَوْتُ وَلَوْ كُنْتُمْ فِیْ بُرُوْجٍ مُّشَیَّدَةٍ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ یَّقُوْلُوْا هٰذِهٖ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ فَمَالِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا یَكَادُوْنَ یَفْقَهُوْنَ حَدِیْثًا ۟

Ayna maa takoonoo yudrikkumul mawtu wa law kuntum fee buroojim mushai yadah; wa in tusibhum hasanatuny yaqooloo haazihee min indil laahi wa in tusibhum saiyi'atuny yaqooloo haazihee min 'indik; qul kullum min 'indillaahi famaa lihaaa 'ulaaa'il qawmi laa yakaadoona yafqahoona hadeesaa

"Wherever ye are, death will find you out, even if ye are in towers built up strong and high!" If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah"; but if evil, they say, "This is from thee" (O Prophet). Say: "All things are from Allah." But what hath come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?
