The Meaning of the Hadith: "So Whoever Is Pleased, for Him Is Pleasure"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His saying: "So whoever is pleased"—does this mean patience or pleasure?
Answer:
The ranks are four:
Patience.
And pleasure.
And gratitude.
So patience is obligatory, and pleasure is recommended; one should be pleased and not resent the calamity, because of the good that follows it.
And the fourth rank: he considers it a blessing for which he thanks Allah, saying that he was afflicted with such and such, so that his sins are lightened and his bad deeds are erased.
These are different degrees for the believers, but the most important of them is patience.
