"مَا ولى أَحَدٌ ولايةً إِلَّا بُسِطَتْ لَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ- فإنَّ قَبلَهَا تَمَّتْ لَهُ، وإِنْ خَفَر عَنْهَا فَتَحَت (*) لَهُ مَا لا طَاقَةَ لَهُ بِهِ".

tabarani:11220 – al-Ḥasan b. Ghulayb al-Miṣrī

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "No one is granted authority unless ease is extended for him. If he accepts it, it will be complete for him, and if he seeks to avoid it, that which he is not capable of will be opened for him." I asked Ibn Abbas, "What does 'he seeks to avoid it' mean?" He said, "He seeks hardships and difficulties."  

الطبراني:١١٢٢٠ – حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ غُلَيْبٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ثنا جَامِعُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّائِفِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا وَلِي أَحَدٌ وِلَايَةً إِلَّا بُسِطَتْ لَهُ الْعَافِيَةُ فَإِنْ قَبِلَهَا تَمَّتْ لَهُ وَإِنْ خَفَرَ عَنْهَا فُتِحَ لَهُ مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَهُ بِهِ» قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا خَفَرَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ يَطْلُبُ الْعَثَراتِ وَالْعَوْرَاتِ
