Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36995 — The words of Sulayman bin Dawud

Al-Hasan said: Whenever a trial befell Ayyub (peace be upon him), he (peace be upon him) would say: O Allah! You are the One who takes (who withholds or takes back Your blessings), and You are the One who gives (blessings). For as long as You keep the thread of my breath tied, I will remain thankful to You for Your excellent (manner of) trial.
