عن أبي يحيى صهيب بن سنان قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: «عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ المُؤْمِنِ، إنَّ أمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ، وليسَ ذاكَ لأَحَدٍ إلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ، إنْ أصابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ، فَكانَ خَيْرًا له، وإنْ أصابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ، صَبَرَ فَكانَ خَيْرًا له».
94 - Patience in adversity and expressing gratitude
Ṣuhayb ibn Sinān narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. Wonderful is a believer’s situation. Everything that happens to him is good, and this is so for none other than a believer.
2. If he encounters what is pleasant, he is grateful and this is good for him; 3. and if he suffers an adversity, he remains patient and this is good for him.
Summary of Meaning
The Prophet (peace be upon him) gives all believers the happy news that all their affairs will be good for them. When something good happens to them, they will be thankful and express their gratitude to God, and this will earn them His reward. If they go through some adversity, they remain patient and they are rewarded for that.
