Chapter 12: The Prophet on Patience
‘Seek the help of Allah and do not feel helpless. If anything befalls you, do not say: if only I had done such and such, this would have happened. Rather say, it is Allah’s decree and whatever He wills, He does.’ (Ibn Majah)
‘Be content with whatever Allah allocates to you and you will be the richest of people.’ (Ahmad, Tirmidhi)
‘and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience.’ (Bukhari)
‘There is much good in bearing with patience what you dislike, for victory comes with patience, ease comes with difficulty and relief comes from hardship.’ (Ahmad)
