The Difference Between Hala' and Juz'

Question:
What is the difference between hala' and juz'?

Answer:
Hala' applies to both. When evil touches him, he is impatient, and when good touches him, he is stingy. [Al-Ma'arij: 19-21] One who is hala' due to his weakness and lack of patience is both impatient and stingy. He is impatient when a calamity strikes him, and stingy when he acquires wealth because of his extreme miserliness. So his characteristic is being hala', except for those whom Allah has shown mercy to, granted insight and uprightness, and steadied their hearts upon the truth. Allah saves them from this.
However, the human species is hala', except for those whom Allah has granted faith, steadfastness, truth, and uprightness; they do not become hala'. If evil touches them, they are patient and strive to keep it away. If good touches them, they thank Allah and spend it in the causes of righteousness. So he is grateful in times of ease and patient in times of trial. This is the believer. But most people are not like this; they are hala'. Most of creation is hala', lacking patience in times of hardship and lacking gratitude in times of ease. This is the state of most people.
As for the believer, no, he is grateful in times of ease and patient in times of trial, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the believer. Yes.
