55. Asceticism and Softening of Hearts
٥٥۔ كتاب الزهد والرقائق
A believer is patient in trial and grateful in ease
the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, "˹How˺ wondrous is the affair of a believer: for there is good in every affair of his, while that is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer: ˹i.e.,˺ if times of ease strike him, he is grateful which is good for him; and if times of distress strike him, he is patient, which is ˹also˺ good for him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ۔ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ۔ وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ۔ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ۔»
