Abu Sa’id
and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)
reported
that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said: “Never a believer is stricken with a discomfort, an illness, an anxiety,
a grief or mental worry or even the pricking of a thorn but Allah will expiate
his sins on account of his patience”. (Al-Bukhari & Muslim). Riyad As Salihin
Arabic/English book reference: Book 1, Hadith 37
Endure with patience the harm of the creatures and neighbors,
for there is much good in patience. All of you are commanded to show patience
and are responsible for yourselves and your flock. The Prophet (Allah’s prayer
and peace be on him) has said: “Ea
ch one of you is a shepherd and responsible
for his flock.” Be patient with destiny until suffering transforms into bliss.
Patience is the foundation of good. The angels were tested with afflictions and
they endured them with patience, and the prophets were tested with afflictions
and they endured them with patience. You are following in the footsteps of the
people of Allah, so emulate their deeds and endure the afflictions with
patience.
