Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "How amazing is the affair of the believer! Indeed, his affair is all good, and that is not for anyone except the believer. If good befalls him, he is grateful, so it is good for him, and if harm befalls him 1, he is patient, so it is good for him."

(۱) قوله : إن أصابته ضراء صبر والصبر على مراتب من حبس النفس عن المناهي وعن المشتهيات والملاهي، وعلى تحمل المشتقات في أداء العبادات، وعلى تجرع المرارات عند حصول المصيبات، ووصول البليات، هذا. كذا في «المرقاة».
