A small amount from Allah contents him, and a great affliction does not make him discontented. His strength does not reach [the extent of his intention], but his intention reaches; his hand is dipped in goodness; he intends much goodness and acts upon a portion of it, and he sighs over what escaped him of goodness, wondering how he did not act upon it. And the hypocrite, when he looks, he is distracted; when he is silent, he forgets; when he speaks, he babbles; and when a hardship strikes him, he complains. Thus, he is near to discontent, far from contentment. A small amount makes him discontented with Allah, and a great affliction does not content him. His strength reaches [the extent of his action], but his intention does not reach; his hand is dipped in evil; he intends much evil and acts upon a portion of it, and he sighs over what escaped him of evil, wondering how he did not act upon it and how he did not command it. Upon the tongue of the believer is a light that shines, and upon the tongue of the disbeliever is a devil that speaks."

And one of the worshippers said, describing the allies of Allah, the Exalted: "They are a people who knew Him through the certainty of His knowledge, so they tucked up the garment of diligence, turned towards Him, and bore calamities for His sake.
