وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ واستعن بِاللَّه ولاتعجز وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَا تَقُلْ لَوْ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَكِنْ قُلْ قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ فَإِنَّ لَوْ تَفْتَحُ عمل الشَّيْطَان» رَوَاهُ مُسلم
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than the weak (meaning he who has a stronger faith and tawakkul and endures hardship at the hands of others). Every believer (strong or weak) has good characteristics. So, whatever is good (in terms of religion) crave for what benefits you in it. Seek help from Allah (to do good) and do not be lethargic in seeking it.” [2]And, if you are overcome by something, do not lament, ‘Had I done this or that, such and such would have occurred,’ but say, ‘This is as Allah has decreed. (It is what He decided.), what He wishes, He does, because ‘if’ or ‘had I done’ (implies reliance on one’s own design and) opens the door for the deeds of the devil.” (And the mind doubts the working of the decree.) [3]
[2] Or, as some put it, in doing that what you are commanded.[3] Muslim # 31-2664Reference : Mishkat al-Masabih 5298In-book reference : Book 26, Hadith 144
