every difficulty that constrains people, and Allah will be sufficient for him and meet his needs.

The point is that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, guided the servant to what brings him to the fullest perfection and enables him to attain his goal: eagerly pursuing what benefits him and devoting his efforts to it. Only then will seeking Allah’s sufficiency and saying, “Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Trustee,” benefit him. This is unlike someone who fails to act and neglects his duty until he loses what would have benefited him, then says, “Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Trustee” (1). Allah reproaches him and will not suffice him in this state, for He suffices only those who fear Him and then put their trust in Him.

Section
His Guidance in Remembering Allah

The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was the most perfect of all creation in remembering Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Indeed, all his speech concerned the remembrance of Allah and matters connected with it. His commands, prohibitions, and legislation for the Muslim community were remembrance of Allah. His accounts of the Lord’s names, attributes, rulings, actions, promises, and warnings were remembrance of Him. Praising Him for His blessings, glorifying Him, giving thanks to Him, and declaring Him free of imperfection were remembrance of Him. His requests and supplications to Him, in hope and fear, were remembrance (2) of Him. His silence and stillness were remembrance (3) of Him (4) in his heart. Thus, he remembered Allah at all times and in every state. His remembrance of Allah accompanied every breath: standing, sitting, or lying on his side; walking or riding; travelling or stopping to rest; journeying (5) or remaining in one place.
