55.14 The Believer's Affair Is All Good

٥٥۔١٤ باب الْمُؤْمِنُ أَمْرُهُ كُلُّهُ خَيْرٌ

A believer is patient in trial and grateful in ease

muslim:2999Haddāb b. Khālid al-Azdī And Shaybān b. Farrūkh > Sulaymān b. al-Mughīrah Wa-al-Lafẓ Lishaybān > Sulaymān > Thābit > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Laylá > Ṣuhayb

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."  

مسلم:٢٩٩٩حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ وَشَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ جَمِيعًا؛ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِشَيْبَانَ؛ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ؛ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ؛ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى؛ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ

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۔»
