Hadith #37928
قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مؤمن قوي القلب خير وأحب إلى الله من مؤمن ضعيف الجسد والعقل، ولكن في كل واحد منهم خير، فاجتهدوا ما ينفعكم واستعينوا بالله ولا تضعفوا، وإذا أصابتكم مصيبة فلا تقولوا: لو فعلت كذا وكذا لفعلت كذا، بل قولوا: هذا قضاء الله وقد فعله الله ما شاء، فإن كلمة «لو» تفتح الطريق لعمل الشيطان.» [1635]
He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: A strong believer with a firm heart is better and more beloved to Allah than a weak believer with a weak body and a weak mind. But in each of them there is good (in faith). So strive for what is beneficial for you and seek help from Allah, and do not feel weak. And if a calamity befalls you, do not say, ‘If I had done so and so, I would have done so.’ Rather, say, ‘This was ordained by Allah, Allah has done what He willed.’ For the word ‘if’ opens the way for the work of Satan.’ (i.e., the weakness of faith that comes from not accepting Allah’s decision wholeheartedly allows Satan to exert his influence.) [1635]
