Patience in adversity

The righteous and pious person deals with misfortunes according to what God Almighty has commanded, that is, with patience and seeking reward, and he will have a great reward for that, God willing. God - Glory be to Him and Most High - out of His love for the servant tests him and tests him regarding his health, wealth, or child, so the believer is patient with this test and God opens his chest. He guides his heart to be patient with God’s decree, and prays to Him to remove these tribulations from him. The Almighty said: {No calamity befalls except by the permission of God. And whoever believes in God, He will guide his heart. And God is All-Knowing.},[1] May God’s prayers and peace be upon him: ( How wonderful is the matter of the believer, for all of his affairs are good, and that is not for anyone except the believer. If good things happen to him, he gives thanks, and it is good for him, and if adversity happens to him, he is patient, and it is good for him), [2] and the way of the Almighty A difficult path that all the prophets took and suffered from all kinds of harm So Adam labored during it, and our master Abraham was thrown into the fire, and Ishmael was placed to be slaughtered, and Jonah was thrown into the belly of the whale, and Job was afflicted with illness and childbirth, and other prophets - peace be upon them - and their reception of these afflictions was only with patience, seeking reward, and contentment.[3]
