Beneficial Reminders

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

"Whoever does bad to you and then comes to excuse himself, then humbleness requires that you accept his excuse be it true or false, and leave his true affair to the care of Allah as Allah's Messenger did when the hypocrites who did not go out with him in the expedition, so when they came to him making excuses he accepted their excuses and he entrusted their true affairs to Allah."

“The planning of The Almighty (Allaah) is better for you than your own planning, and He could deprive you from what you ask to test your patience. So let Him see from you a determined patience and you will soon see from Him what will give you joy. And when you have cleaned the paths of answering (of supplication) from the stains of sin [i.e have repented] and were patient about what He has chosen for you, then everything that happens to you is better for you whether you were given or deprived of what you have requested."

Ibn Al-Jawzee
