00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:07,349
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

3
00:00:07,349 --> 00:00:24,699
“Those who say: Our Lord! Lo! we believe. So forgive us our sins and guard us from the punishment of Fire;” (3:16)

4
00:00:24,699 --> 00:00:38,189
"The patient, the true, the obedient, those who spend [in the cause of Allah], and those who seek forgiveness before dawn."

00:00:38,189 --> 00:00:42,549
On the authority of 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

6
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:47,630
A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked:

7
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:51,789
"O Prophet of Allah, which deed is best?"

8
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:53,189
He replied:

9
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:59,479
"Faith in Allah, believing in Him, and striving in His cause."

10
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:00,560
The man said:

11
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,310
"I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah."

12
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:05,430
He replied:

13
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:08,030
"Tolerance and patience."

14
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:09,150
The man said:

15
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:12,930
"I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah."

16
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:14,129
He said:

17
00:01:14,129 --> 00:01:18,810
"Do not accuse Allah of injustice in anything He has decreed for you."

A benefit:

20
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,599
'Umar ibn Dharr (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

21
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:29,400
"Whoever is firmly resolved upon patience in all matters

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,239
has truly attained all good,

23
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,200
and has sought the strongholds of righteousness and the completeness of rewards."
