Explaining Patience in the Face of Calamities and Trials for Those Who Enjoin Good
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said: May Allah inform you of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Do they mention in this what the one who enjoins good and forbids evil faces, whether from the side of the one who does good or others? What they face of trial, abuse, beating, or otherwise? And what do I say, Your Eminence, in a word to the people of hisbah and others among those who enjoin good and forbid evil, specifically regarding patience in the face of calamities and trials?
Answer:
They fall under this, and it is not possible for a person to enjoin good and forbid evil except with patience,[Luqman 31:17]. [Al-'Asr 103:3] It is a call to Allah, and they need patience. There is no doubt that the members of the days are more deserving of patience for what befalls them and what they encounter of hardship, and their reward is little with Allah the Exalted if they are patient and seek reward from Him.
The Shaykh said: May Allah inform you of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Indeed, when Allah loves His people, He tests them.
