Quote:
{41:49} Man is not weary of supplication for good [things], but if evil touches him, he is hopeless and despairing.
I suggest,
{41:49} Man does not tire of supplicating for good, but when evil touches him, he is despairing and hopeless.Quote:
{41:50} And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

{41:51} And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns away and distances himself; but when evil touches him, then he is full of extensive supplication.
It is not easy to closely translate
نأى بجانبه, which literally means "he goes far with his side", so I suggest,
{41:51} And when We bestow favor upon man, he turns aside and moves his side far (distances himself); but when evil touches him, then he has capacious supplication.
