Qurrah reported: ‘Awn, may Allah have mercy on him, said, “Verily, Allah compels his servant into a trial in the same way as caretakers do to their sick and their children. They say: Drink this, for in the end it will be good for you.”

عَنْ قُرَّة عَنْ عَوْنٍ رحمه الله قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُكْرِهُ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى الْبَلاءِ كَمَا يُكْرِهُ أَهْلُ الْمَرِيضِ مَرِيضَهُمْ وَأَهْلُ الصَّبِيِّ صَبِيَّهُمْ عَلَى الدَّوَاءِ وَيَقُولُونَ اشْرَبْ هَذَا فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِي عَاقِبَتِهِ خَيْرًا
