The Muslim's stance toward trials.

The Shaykh : Thus, this hadith which we are in the process of commenting on clarifies for us the minimum that a person can be reassured by in his ordinary, peaceful life: . However, this does not mean that the Muslim is not tested, and that the Muslim may fall ill and be healthy in his body. Being healthy in one's body is a matter of this world. Likewise, being safe and at ease in one's home and having one's daily sustenance, all of this is among the matters of this world that the Muslim should be content with and adopt as his approach in his life, without extending his gaze beyond that. But Allah (Mighty and Majestic), as we mentioned earlier, tests His servants with whatever He wills. Among these tests is the test in the body, and the test with hunger, as mentioned in the previous verse, and as He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as if he is consoling those who may be tested in their bodies, their health, or their lives among the Muslims with some hardship and severity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, consoling these people: . Therefore, if one of us, whether men or women, is afflicted with something that does not please us, whether in his body, his health, or his wealth, he should not become weary, and he should be pleased and patient with the divine decree until Allah (Mighty and Majestic) gives him his reward on the Day of Resurrection without reckoning. We ask Allah to make us among these people.
