عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ،وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ.احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ،وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ وَلَا تَعْجِزْ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ، فَلَا تَقُلْ: لَوْ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَلَكِنْ قُلْ: قَدَرُ اللهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ؛ فَإِنَّ (لَوْ) تَفْتَحُ عَمَلَ الشَّيْطَانِ» رواه مسلم
Abu Hurayrah narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. A strong believer is better and dearer to God than a weak believer, 2. but there is goodness in both. 3. Make sure to have what benefits you. 4. Seek God’s help and do not feel helpless. 5. If something happens to you, do not say: had I done this, such-and-such would have happened. 6. Rather, say: This is God’s will and whatever God wills shall happen. 7. Expressions of regret open the gate for
| A person who is firm and strong in his faith and learns what is good is better than one who is weak. Therefore, a Muslim should be keen to acquire what will be of benefit to him. He should pray to God to help him in this, and not be lazy or feel helpless. When a Muslim does or obtains something good, he should thank God. If not, he should not wish to have a second chance. Instead, he should say: ‘This is God’s will and whatever God wills is done’. |
