The meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And when man is touched by hardship, he calls Us, whether on his side, or sitting, or standing."

The Shaykh : These are the ones who do not expect to meet Allah; Allah leaves them, abandoning them in their transgression and extending their respite. But this is a gradual leading astray by Allah (Mighty and Majestic) until, when He seizes them, He does not let them escape. As Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said—rather, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And he recited the saying of Allah the Exalted: . When man is touched by hardship, by what? By what does hardship touch him? By illness, or by a disability, or by the loss of children, or by poverty. The word "hardship" is general; whatever causes harm, where does one turn? To Allah. For this reason, He said: , meaning on his side . A person is either on his side, or standing, or sitting. So he calls Us in all circumstances, calling upon Allah the Exalted to remove the hardship. But will he give thanks when His hardship is removed?
