Don’t just be patient, be patient and along with that hope
for a reward from Allaah سبحانه
و تعالى for your patience during your calamity
Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen رحمه الله تعالى
said,
“Indeed when a person faces calamities with patience
[but] without hoping for a reward from Allaah, the calamity will become an
expiation for his sins. And if he shows patience along with hoping for a reward
[from Allaah], then along with being an expiation for his sins it becomes a
good recompense and reward. And the meaning of hoping for Allaah’s reward
[al-Ihtisaab] is that a person believes that he will soon be rewarded for the
patience [he is showing], so he makes good his thoughts about Allaah and thus
Allaah سبحانه
و تعالى, will give him [a
reward] according to what he thought of Him.”
{At-Ta’leeq alaa Saheeh Muslim, p. 342}.
