complained to him: O Prophet of God, don't you invoke God to help us? At this, his face became red with rage and then he said:
There were such men among your predecessor who were buried alive. There were such men who were sewn to pieces by saws. Yet they did not turn back from religion. Hazrat Ali reported: He who is confined by the king unjustly and as a result dies becomes a martyr. If as a result of beating he dies, he becomes a martyr.
The Prophet said: Not to complain of your troubles and of your pains appertain to the glorification of God. Abu Darda'a reported: You are born for death, you erect buildings for destruction, you covet for what will not last and give up what will last. Three undesirable things are good for you - poverty, disease and death. The Prophet said: When God wishes good of a man and establishes love with him, He sends down upon him troubles and calamities and afflicts him with mishaps. When he prays to God, angels say: This voice is acquainted with us. When he prays to Him second time and says O Lord God says, O My servant, I am present, fortune for you. I have given you what is good for you and I have kept deposited with Me what is better for you. When there will be resurrection, the pious will be brought .
and their actions will be weighed in the Balance - the actions of those who prayed, those who paid Zakat, those who fasted and those who made pilgrimage. Then those who werejafflicted with calamities will be brought but their book of deeds will not be opened in their presence. Rewards will be rained over them as calamities were thrown over them. Those who were happy and safe in the world will see the high rank of those who suffered troubles and calamities and say: Alas, how good it would have been if the flesh of our bodies were severed by scissors. For this reason God say's: Surely the patient will be given full rewards without account. Hazrat Ibn Abbas reported that a Prophet complained to God and said: O Lord, a believer obeys you and gives up disobedience to you but you keep the world distant from him and send down upon him troubles. The unbeliever does not serve You dares against You and commits sins. You remove from him dangers and difficulties and give him varieties of comforts and riches. What is its reason? God then revealed to him: The people are Mine and dangers and calamities also are Mine. Everything glorifies My praise. When I see the sins of a believer, I keep away the world from him and present to him dangers and difficulties. I expiate his sins by the worldly calamities and he becomes dear to me and I give him the rewards
