Transliteration:( Wa la'in arsalnaa reehan fara awhu musfarral lazalloo mim ba'dihee yakfuroon )
115. This tells us that in Quranic terminology, the wind of mercy is called REEYAH and that of punishment is called REEH. Observe, at first REEYAH was used where mention was made of rain, and here, in the situation of punishment the word REEH is used.
116. It means that the infidels are not grateful during prosperity and patient during adversity. In fact, they are arrogant and boastful on receiving any bounty and when afflicted with calamity they become impatient.

The tafsir of Surah Ar-Rum verse 51 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Rum ayat 48 which provides the complete commentary from verse 48 through 51.
(30:51) But if We were to send a wind and then their tilth has become yellow,[74] they would never cease to disbelieve.[75]
74. That is, a frosty wind or a heat wave which ruins their crops after they started flourishing by the shower of rain.
75. That is, they start cursing God and blaming Him for all their misfortunes and troubles, whereas when God had showered His blessings on them, they had shown ingratitude instead of being grateful to Him. Here again there is a subtle allusion to the theme that when the Messengers of Allah bring the messages of mercy to the people, they do not listen to them and reject the blessing; then when God imposes tyrants and despots upon them in consequence of their disbelief, who persecute them severely, and destroy their humanity, the same people start abusing and blaming God for creating a world full of tyranny and cruelty.
[1154]- Denying and ungrateful for the previous favors of Allāh.
