"I marvel at Allah's decree, Mighty and Majestic, for the believer.
0:37
If good befalls him, he praises his Lord and gives thanks;
0:41
and if an affliction strikes him, he praises his Lord and remains patient.

Abu Hatim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
1:02
"Patience is of three types:
1:05
patience in refraining from acts of disobedience,
1:07
patience in performing acts of obedience,
1:09
and patience in the face of hardships and calamities.
1:13
The best of these is patience in refraining from acts of disobedience.
1:16
Thus, the prudent person manages his affairs
1:18
by remaining steadfast in the three situations we have mentioned,
1:23
by consistently maintaining patience according to the degrees we described earlier,
1:27
until he thereby ascends to the level of contentment with Allah, the Sublime and Exalted,
1:32
in times of both hardship and ease alike."
