The meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "For indeed, with hardship there is ease. Indeed, with hardship there is ease."

The Shaykh : a blessing. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, as is narrated from him: . Where is the hardship and where are the two eases?
O you rhetoricians and grammarians. What is it?
Is the hardship here definite or indefinite? Is the hardship definite or indefinite?
The student: Definite.

The Shaykh : Because it is adorned with the article "al." "Ease" is indefinite. Definite indefinite. When a name is repeated in the indefinite form, the second is different from the first; and when it is repeated in the definite form, the second is the same as the first. So how many hardships are there in that case? One, and the eases are two. The ease is two. And for this reason he said: . So, my brother, if Allah decrees for you in any of your affairs that your matters become difficult, remember the preceding ease and remember the ease that you are promised, which is the subsequent ease, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is it? .
