Chapter: From Eemaan is having patience upon the decrees of Allaah, and His statement:

(وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيم)ٌ 

"And whoever believes in Allah – He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things." 

[At-Taghabun: 11]

قال علقمة: هو الرجل تصيبه المصيبة، فيعلم أنها من عند الله، فيرضى ويسلم

Alqamah said: “It is a man who is afflicted with a trial, so he knows it is from Allaah, so he is pleased and submits.”

And in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurairah, he said: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “

“اثْنَتَانِ فِي النَّاسِ هُمَا بِهِمْ كُفْرٌ: الطَّعْنُ فِي النَّسَبِ وَالنِّيَاحَةُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ”

"There are two things amongst the people which are Kufr (Minor): Belittling a persons lineage and wailing over the dead."

And they both have from Abdillaah (Ibn Mas’ood), he said: 

 «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ ضَرَبَ الْخُدُودَ، أَوْ شَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ، أَوْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»

"He is not from us, the one who slaps the cheeks and tears the clothes, and calls with the call of Jaahiliyyah."

From Anas, he said: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: 

«إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدِهِ الخَيْرَ عَجَّلَ لَهُ العُقُوبَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدِهِ الشَّرَّ أَمْسَكَ عَنْهُ بِذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى يُوَافِيَ بِهِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ»

"If Allaah wants good for his slave, he hastens his punishment in the Dunyaa, and if he wants bad for his slave he withholds from him his sin until the Day of Judgment then he recompenses him for it." 

And the Prophet ﷺ said: 

إِنَّ عِظَمَ الجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ البَلَاءِ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلَاهُمْ، فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا، وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السَّخَطُ» حسنه الترمذي

"The magnitude of the reward is with the magnitude of the trial, and verily Allaah if he loves a people, he tests them, so whoever is pleased then for him is the pleasure, and whoever is angry, then for him is anger." 

[Declared Hassan by Tirmidhi] 

In it are Masaa’il (topics):

The First: Tafseer of the verse of At-Taghabun. 

The Second: That this is from Eemaan in Allaah. 

The Third: Belittling the lineage. 

The Fourth: The severity of the punishment for the one who strikes the cheeks and rips the garments and calls with the call of Jaahiliyyah. 

The Fifth: The sign of Allaah wanting good for his slave. 

The Sixth: His wanting bad for him. 

The Seventh: The sign of the love of Allaah for his slave. 

The Eighth: The impermissibility of anger. 

The Nineth: The reward of being pleased with the trial.
