The state of the believer when trials occur

The questioner: What is obligatory for the believer when trials occur? Should he isolate himself from people or mix with them?The Shaykh: If trials occur, it is obligatory for a person to be patient and to try to expose these trials as much as he is able. It is not permissible for him to isolate himself from people as long as he is capable of contributing to the removal of these trials or mitigating them. Yes, if we assume that a man is unable to defend against these trials and fears for his own safety, then it is better for him to isolate himself from people.
