Hadith on Ease: Difficulty certain to be followed by relief

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was once standing over a hole and he said, “If hardship were to enter this hole, ease would surely follow it, go inside, and take it out.” Then, Allah Almighty revealed the verse, “Verily, with the hardship comes an ease, with the hardship comes an ease.” (94:5-6)

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِحِيَالِهِ جُحْرٌ فَقَالَ لَوْ جَاءَ الْعُسْرُ فَدَخَلَ هَذَا الْجُحْرَ لَجَاءَ الْيُسْرُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخْرَجَهُ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
