Being pleased with Qadar

‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood said:
“It is more beloved to me to bite onto a red coal until it cools, than for me to say about something that Allaah has preordained, ‘Only if it didn’t happen.‘ “
[Az-Zuhd, of Aboo Daawood, p. 136]
Aboo Mas’ood Al-Balkhee said:
“Whoever is afflicted with tragedy and he rips up a garment or pounds on his chest then it is as if he has grabbed a spear and intends to fight his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.”
[Faydul Qadeer, 3/230]
Wahb Ibn Munabbih said:
“Whoever is afflicted with some type of calamity then Allaah has put him through the path of the Prophets (pbut).”
[Al-Hilyah, 4/56]
Aboo Hafs Al-Fallaas said:
“I said to Yahyaa Ibn Sa’eed during his sickness: ‘May Allaah give you well being,‘ so he answered: ‘Whatever is fondest to Allaah is fondest to me.‘ “
[As-Siyar, 9/182]
‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab is reported to have said:
“No amount of guilt can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future. Go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allaah’s decree.
If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from it you cannot flee.”
