Tafsir
If misfortune illness or poverty should befall a disbelieving man he calls upon Us on his side that is lying down or sitting or standing in other words in every state; but when We have relieved him of his misfortune he passes on in his unbelief as if ka-an is softened its subject omitted in other words read as ka-annahu he had never called upon Us because of a misfortune that befell him. So in the same way that supplication during misfortune and abstention from supplication in times of comfort were adorned for him is adorned for the prodigal the idolaters that which they do.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And if misfortune touch a man) when hardship or sickness befalls the disbeliever, the reference here is to Hisham Ibn al-Mughirah and al-Makhzumi (he cries unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune) when We relieved him of the hardship and misfortune which befell him (he goeth his way) he carries on his abstention from making supplication to Us (as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune) a hardship (that afflicted him. Thus is what they do) in their state of idolatry of making supplications in times of hardship and abstaining from so making supplication to Allah in times of ease (made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal) unto the idolaters.
