Does a person sin by increasing their humility when a calamity or need occurs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another letter sent by Sister Umm Sa'd. She says: At times I turn to acts of obedience, such as prayer, reciting the Qur'an, and dhikr (remembrance of Allah), especially when I am faced with a hardship, worry, or marital problem. I am then humble and weeping, feeling the greatness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But when these things go away, I become occupied with the children, the house, the husband, and other things, and I become indifferent in my humility and in my prayer. Do I sin by doing so?

Answer:
No, you do not sin by that. It is known that the need for Allah necessitates humility before Him and weeping in His presence. As for when a person becomes self-sufficient, he either becomes negligent or turns away; either he becomes negligent or he turns away from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So the Muslim should remember Allah constantly in all his states: in his wealth and poverty, in his health and sickness, in his presence and travel, and in all his conditions. Yes.
