    Being Concerned Over What
    Benefits A Believer In His Religion

    Hadith Ten

    The Prophet's ﷺ Recommendation That
    Each Believer Be Full of Concern Over
    What Benefits Him In His Religion And
    Everyday Existence, Asking For Allah's
    Help; His Urging the Believer To Work
    And Beware of Frustration And Laziness

    Muslim narrated from Abu Hurayra (ra) that he
    said: "Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: `The strong
    believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the
    weak one, but in each of them there is great goodness.
    Be full of concern over what benefits you. Seek
    Allah's help and do not get frustrated. If something
    bad happens to you, do not say: if only I had done
    such and such, then such and such would have happened.
    Say: Allah foreordained it to take place, and whatever
    Allah wishes, He does. For `if only' begins Satan's
    work."
