Hadith 192
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ زِيَادَةُ: ((تَعَرَّفْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي الرَّخَاءِ يَعْرِفْكَ فِي الشِّدَّةِ (وَفِيهِ أَيْضًا) فَلَوْ أَنَّ الْخَلْقَ كُلَّهُمْ جَمِيعًا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَكْتُبْهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ فِي الصَّبْرِ عَلَى مَا تَكْرَهُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا وَأَنَّ النَّصْرَ مَعَ الصَّبْرِ وَأَنَّ الْفَرَجَ مَعَ الْكَرْبِ وَأَنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا))
(Second chain) There is a similar narration, but with the addition of these words: "So recognize Allah in times of ease, He will recognize you in times of hardship. Thus, if all of creation intends to benefit you with something that Allah has not written for you, (no matter what they do) they will not be able to do so. Similarly, if they resolve to harm you with something that Allah has not decreed for you, they will not have the power to do so either. So know that there is great good in being patient over disliked matters, and help comes with patience, relief comes with hardship, and ease comes with difficulty."
