In the Quran

مَّا يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَلَا ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

جو لوگ کافر ہیں، اہل کتاب یا مشرک وہ اس بات کو پسند نہیں کرتے کہ تم پر تمہارے پروردگار کی طرف سے خیر (وبرکت) نازل ہو۔ اور خدا تو جس کو چاہتا ہے، اپنی رحمت کے ساتھ خاص کر لیتا ہے اور خدا بڑے فضل کا مالک ہے

Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture nor the idolaters love that there should be sent down unto you any good thing from your Lord. But Allah chooseth for His mercy whom He will, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty.
